Your machine, measured.
Knots is in development at our Kallang workshop. Here is what it does and where it is going.
Knots is a Windows application we are building in house. It answers four questions people ask us constantly: what is in this machine, what is it running, does it hold up under load, and is it any faster than the last one.
We built it for ourselves first. Every Typhoon gets tested and recorded before it ships, and the tooling for that had to exist anyway. This is that work, turned into something you can run on your own machine.
What it does.
- Hardware inventory
16:9 placeholderHardware inventory.What is actually inside the machine. The specific parts, with the marketing names left off.
- Software inventory
16:9 placeholderSoftware inventory.What is installed and what is running, so a performance problem can be traced to a cause rather than guessed at.
- Stress test
16:9 placeholderStress test.Put the machine under sustained load and watch how it behaves. The same discipline we apply on the bench before a build ships.
- Benchmark
16:9 placeholderBenchmark.Measure the result, so an upgrade decision can be made on numbers instead of on a hunch.
