alignment.
-.. option:: bs_is_seq_rand
+.. option:: bs_is_seq_rand=bool
If this option is set, fio will use the normal read,write blocksize settings
as sequential,random blocksize settings instead. Any random read or write
**cudamalloc**
Use GPU memory as the buffers for GPUDirect RDMA benchmark.
+ The ioengine must be rdma.
The area allocated is a function of the maximum allowed bs size for the job,
multiplied by the I/O depth given. Note that for **shmhuge** and

Default. Preallocate donor's file on init.

(``blkparse <device> -o /dev/null -d file_for_fio.bin``).
-.. option:: replay_no_stall=int

When replaying I/O with :option:`read_iolog` the default behavior is to
attempt to respect the timestamps within the log and replay them with the

.. option:: verify_offset=int
all jobs in a file will be part of the same reporting group, unless
separated by a :option:`stonewall`.
-.. option:: stats
+.. option:: stats=bool
By default, fio collects and shows final output results for all jobs
that run. If this option is set to 0, then fio will ignore it in
you instead want to log the maximum value, set this option to 1. Defaults to
0, meaning that averaged values are logged.
-.. option:: log_offset=int
+.. option:: log_offset=bool
If this is set, the iolog options will include the byte offset for the I/O
entry as well as the other data values. Defaults to 0 meaning that

+JSON+ output
+------------
+
+The `json+` output format is identical to the `json` output format except that it
+adds a full dump of the completion latency bins. Each `bins` object contains a
+set of (key, value) pairs where keys are latency durations and values count how
+many I/Os had completion latencies of the corresponding duration. For example,
+consider:
+
+ "bins" : { "87552" : 1, "89600" : 1, "94720" : 1, "96768" : 1, "97792" : 1, "99840" : 1, "100864" : 2, "103936" : 6, "104960" : 534, "105984" : 5995, "107008" : 7529, ... }
+
+This data indicates that one I/O required 87,552ns to complete, two I/Os required
+100,864ns to complete, and 7529 I/Os required 107,008ns to complete.
+
+Also included with fio is a Python script `fio_jsonplus_clat2csv` that takes
+json+ output and generates CSV-formatted latency data suitable for plotting.
+
+The latency durations actually represent the midpoints of latency intervals.
+For details refer to stat.h.
