New Tool Accepted: SPA

SPA, a framework for performance evaluation tailored for storage systems, was accepted for the repository of tools for quantitative system evaluation and analysis.

A new tool was accepted for SPEC RG's repository of peer-reviewed tools for quantitative system evaluation and analysis: SPA.

SPA is a framework for performance evaluation tailored for storage systems and was developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). SPA consists of a benchmark harness that coordinates and controls the execution of the included I/O benchmarks and a tailored analysis library used to process and evaluate the collected measurements.

More tools are currently under review and further submissions are encouraged. After a careful review process, the tools are published on the SPEC RG website. The tools are redistributed without modification and the submitter retains the associated rights and responsibilities.
