Elbencho Releases

This section provides a static executable for Linux and the elbencho.exe file for Windows.

The changelog is available here.

Static Executable for Linux

How to use a static executable

Static executables have no external dependencies, which means:

  • They can be used with any Linux distribution
  • No additional packages need to be installed on a system
  • No need for root privileges

Just download the attached tar file, extract it and see the built-in help for examples to get started:

$ tar -xf elbencho-static-x86_64.tar.gz
$ ./elbencho --help

Additional notes

Static executable downloads don't contain other utilities like the elbencho-chart tool and the bash auto completion, which are included in rpm/deb packages. Also, elbencho static executables do not include support for GPUs. If you want GPU support, you can:

  • Simply build elbencho from source for your current platform. No worries, it's easy.
  • Use the elbencho container from Docker Hub with GPU support (tag: master-magnum-io).

elbencho.exe for Windows

The elbencho.exe was built using Cygwin. You don't need to install Cygwin on your Windows system to use the elbencho.exe. Just extract all the files contained in attached .zip file into the same directory, so that the elbencho.exe can find the packaged .dll libraries.

Afterwards, you can use the normal Windows command prompt or Powershell to run elbencho. You probably want to start by looking at the built-in help to see some examples:

$ elbencho.exe --help

Benchmark paths for the elbencho.exe can be specified in the special cygwin format: /cygdrive/<driveletter>/some/path. Assuming you have a directory C:\data and want to write a single 1GB file to it using 10 threads, it would look like this:

$ elbencho.exe /cygdrive/c/data/myfile -w -s 1g -t 10
