llubenchmark.c is configurable. The comment at the beginning of the file discribes its configuration:
/* * The benchmark executes for a proscribed number of iterations (-i), * and on every iteration the lists are traversed and potentially * extended. The number of lists can be specified (-n) as well as the * size of the elements in the list (-s). The initial length of the * lists can be set (-l) as well as the growth rate (-g). The growth * rate must be non-negative, but can be a floating point number, in * which case random numbers are used to determine whether a list is * extended on a particular cycle (all lists are extended * independently). If the -t option is specified, the insertion * occurs at the tail, otherwise at the head. If the -d option is * specified, the elements are dirtied during the traversal (which * will necessitate a write-back when the data is evicted from the * cache). * * To approximate the non-benchmark Health, use the options: * -i-g .333 -d -t -n 341 * * (the growth rate of the lists in health is different for different * levels of the hierarchy and the constant .333 is just my approximation * of the growth rate). */
