The Platform management console allows cluster and consumer administrators to test that the cluster configuration is correct by running test work. It also provides information on the cluster’s workload performance.
This is the default option when using Symping. Use this tool to test your cluster configuration. Running this tool is often the last step in installation to make sure you have configured your cluster properly so that work can run.
Task overhead is the overhead the system requires when running work. Task overhead is determined by subtracting the execution time from the total time the work took to run (pure processing time).
Change the advanced settings to test any fine tuning you want, such as increased output message size and increased input message size, to determine an approximate amount of overhead for your typical workload.
