| + | Maurice de Rooij (NANETH): | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tested Fixi on Ubuntu server (8 core Intel Xeon E5620 @2.40 GHz, 16GB RAM) using a set of 106,421 files (40 GB). | ||
| + | |||
| + | Creating fixity took 79m34s to finish (fixi init; fixi add\;). | ||
| + | Average speed is 22.3 files / second. | ||
| + | Average resource use: \~800 MB (of 16GB) RAM and \~15-20 % CPU. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Checking fixity took 29m32s to finish (fixi check\;) | ||
| + | Average speed is 60 files/second. | ||
| + | Average resource use: \~160 MB (of 16GB) RAM and \~50-60 % CPU. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Creating fixity data of 106,421 files yields a SQLite database of 14 MB. | ||
| + | Fixi uses a single thread. | ||
| − | + | Please note that I have only tested performance. Planning to test the integrity of the fixity data soon. | |
