Benchmark

Compares sarin, wrk, and bombardier against a minimal C HTTP server using epoll.

Requirements

• sarin, wrk, bombardier in PATH
• gcc

Usage

./benchmark/run.sh

Configuration is at the top of run.sh:

DURATION="30s"
CONNECTIONS=(50 100 200)
ITERATIONS=3

Structure

benchmark/
  run.sh          - benchmark script
  server/
    server.c      - C epoll HTTP server (returns "ok")
  results/        - output directory (auto-created)

Output

Each run produces per-tool files:

• *.out - tool stdout (throughput, latency)
• *.time - /usr/bin/time -v output (peak memory, CPU time)
• *_resources.csv - sampled CPU/memory during run

A summary table is printed at the end with requests/sec, total requests, elapsed time, and peak memory.
