SSSI Workload I/O Capture Program (WIOCP)

The Workload I/O Capture Program (WIOCP) has the goal of understanding I/O characteristics of various applications, that can help to identify which SSDs perform best in particualar user environments.

WIOCP utilizes thorougly tested software which runs in the background on your PC to gather the data.  The software has been specifically designed to be safely downloaded and used with corporate or personal PCs. 

WHAT is the WIOCP Software? 

A simple tool to capture software applications' I/O operation activity that provides  statistics on workloads at the user level - IOPS, MB/s, response times queue depths, etc.)

You can collect and optionally display in real time information reflecting your current environment and operations

HOW CAN THE WIOCP HELP YOU?

 The collected I/O metrics will provide information you can use to evaluate your current SSD system environment. 

Statistics will be captured from a wide range of applications, and used by SSSI with the SSS Performance Test Specification to help you determine what SSD will perform best for you

HOW CAN YOUR SUBMISSION HELP THE SNIA AND SSSI?

The WIOCP will provide unique, raw information that can be analyzed by our SNIA Technical Work Groups like the IOTTA TWG to gain insights into workload characteristics, key performance metrics, and insights in SSD design constraints and opportunities. 

All the collected data will be aggregated and publically available for download and analysis.  No personally identifiable information is collected, and you benefit from this information with no comprises to your privacy or confidentiality.
