collect vmhwm for servers and use it for mysql, httpd and redis

2019-12-11T21:19:14+00:00

explicitly collect binary versions

2019-09-11T15:59:23+00:00

There is no generic way to retrieve the version of a binary.
Not everyone followes GNU cli guidelines and supports "--version".
The larson benchmark for example reads input from stdin when
started with "larson --version" blocking the Benchmark.prepare() call.

improve server benchmarks

2019-09-11T15:28:29+00:00

servers are now dictionary with two mandatory keys: "name" and "cmd".
Optional keys are:
	* "prepare_cmds": commands are run after a server is started
	* "shutdown_cmds": commands are run before a server is terminated

require a name in Benchmark.init

The description Benchmark member is replaced with class docstrings

apply some flake8 hints

2019-06-19T15:12:14+00:00

use sane iterations (100 -> 10000)

introduce server concept to Benchmark

2019-05-15T15:51:06+00:00

A benchmark object can specify a list of cmds to execute as
"servers" in the member attribute server_cmds.
Servers are started and terminated through Popen objects.
This requires the server cmds to not daemonize so the server
can be terminated through the Popen object.
For each started server cmd a shutdown function is registered with
atexit to terminate all servers even if a exception occurs.

Use the new server concept in httpd and mysql benchmarks
