+From the Xdd User's Guide:
+
+About xdd
+
+Xdd is a tool for measuring and characterizing disk subsystem I/O
+on single systems and clusters of systems. It is a command-line
+based tool that grew out of the UNIX world and has been ported to
+run in Windows environments as well. It is designed to provide
+consistent and reproducible performance measurements of disk I/O
+traffic. There are three basic components to xdd that include the
+xdd program itself, a timeserver program, and a gettime program.
+The timeserver and gettime programs are used to synchronize the
+clocks of xdd programs simultaneously running across multiple
+computer systems.
