Benchmarks for vroom

The benchmarks are run with a makefile, run make to run them.

Personal notes on running benchmarks on AWS

Starting up

• Create new volume from previous vroom snapshot - io1 volume type - 2500 IOPS
• Attach volume to instance - /dev/sda1

Attach to instance

ssh vroom-bench

When you first start there may be some unattended upgrades installing, use top to monitor and wait until they are done.
