percentile and histogram not working

Open dichenli opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

When running any sysbench test on my Macbook, the percentile value is always 0, and histogram doesn't work, e.g.:

% sysbench --version
sysbench 1.0.20

% sysbench --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --histogram=on run

The Macbook is on Apple M1 chip. I installed the sysbench with brew install sysbench:

% brew info sysbench

I also installed sysbench on a Linux machine (x86 arch) following https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench#linux , it worked fine:

% sudo yum -y install sysbench
......
Installed:
  sysbench.x86_64 0:1.0.20-1.el7

% sysbench --version

I also tried a few other tests: fileio, memory, mysql oltp_write_only.lua, etc. All the same: histogram and percentile work on the linux host, but not on my macbook.

I'm not sure what goes wrong. Some help would be much appreciated!
