sysbench是一款开源的多线程性能测试工具，可以执行CPU/内存/线程/IO/数据库等方面的性能测试。
数据库目前支持MySQL/Oracle/PostgreSQL。本文只是简单演示一下几种测试的用法，后续准备利用sysbench来对MySQL进行一系列的测试。具体的一些参数设置，需要根据不同的测试要求来进行调整。
sysbench是一个开源的、模块化的、跨平台的多线程性能测试工具，可以用来进行CPU、内存、磁盘I/O、线程、数据库的性能测试。目前支持的数据库有MySQL、Oracle和PostgreSQL。当前功能允许测试的系统参数有：
file I/O performance （文件I / O性能）
scheduler performance （调度性能）
memory allocation and transfer speed （内存分配和传输速度）
POSIX threads implementation performance （POSIX线程执行绩效）
database server performance (OLTP benchmark) （数据库服务器性能）
sysbench支持以下几种测试模式：
1、CPU运算性能
2、磁盘IO性能
3、调度程序性能
4、内存分配及传输速度
5、POSIX线程性能
6、数据库性能(OLTP基准测试)
目前sysbench主要支持 mysql,drizzle,pgsql,oracle 等几种数据库。
