P-Reg performance regression suite and debugging tool for parallel NFS (pNFS). The tool allows the user to run performance tests on pNFS system and simultaneously collect debug information. It provides the user with summarized outputs of the tests and debug information to compare 2 or more diffrent runs and also debug performance issues. P-reg runs on Linux Operating system and is tested using the pNFS over PVFS2 implementation available at CITI. It is necessary to download 3 files to compile the tool.
