It can be found here: http://contest.kolivas.org Changes since the last release: Lots of little bugfixes mainly Increased resolution of read and io loads Added io_other load Corrected dbench_load to dbench num_cpus*16 More detailed instructions Man Page update This version will give different results to previous versions of contest so to upgrade please delete all the .log files in your testbed directory. Known Bugs: Contest will still run each kernel compilation if the load fails to initialise (eg dbench doesnt start) and so please ensure all the necessary load applications are in your PATH. io_other needs the -o parameter to know where to dump it's io load or else it will be no load If your load times are the same as your no_load times then the load has failed to initialise.
