Synthetic Benchmark
- http://www.bitmover.com/lmbench/ lmbench - a GPL'd suite of atomic benchmarks, no publishing restrictions
- http://www.tux.org/pub/tux/benchmarks/System/unixbench/ UnixBench - a fundamental high-level Linux benchmark suite, Unixbench integrates CPU and file I/O tests, as well as system behaviour under various user loads
- http://www.caldera.com/developers/community/contrib/aim.html AIM9 - the AIM Independent Resource Benchmark exercises and times each component of a UNIX computer system, independently. The benchmark uses 58 subtests to generate absolute processing rates, in operations per second, for subsystems, I/O transfers, function calls, and UNIX system calls. GPL'd and can be published under the "non-audited" clause.
- http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html Netperf - a sophisticated network and filesystem benchmark, freely available, publishable?
- ftp://onet4.external.hp.com/dist/networking/benchmarks/SSLperf/ SSLperf - open source web benchmark designed to measure performance of SSL operations
- ftp://samba.org/pub/tridge/dbench/README dbench - similar workload to netbench but GPL'd and much easier to config and run (doesn't require clients), suite also includes tbench and smbtorture, no publishing restrictions
- http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/bonnie/ Bonnie - io throughput benchmark, GPL'd with no publishing restrictions
- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ an enhanced version of bonnie written in C++, GPL'd with no publishing restrictions
- http://www.iozone.org/ Iozone is useful for performing a broad filesystem analysis of a vendor's computer platform. The benchmark tests file I/O performance for the following operations: Read, write, re-read, re-write, read backwards, read strided, fread, fwrite, random read, pread ,mmap, aio_read, aio_write. It has recently added tests for NFS, CIFS, and distributed/cluster systems.
- http://www.spec.org/ SPEC CPU2000 - benchmark suite designed to evaluate raw cpu and compiler power
- http://www.tux.org/~mayer/linux/bmark.html BYTEmark - CPU benchmark suite, reporting CPU/cache/memory, integer and floating-point performance
- http://icl.cs.utk.edu/projects/llcbench/cachebench.html Cachebench - measures bandwidth of the memory subsystem (L1, L2 and main memory)
- http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/ Stream - measures sustainable memory bandwidth vs. FPU performance
- http://www.spec.org/ SPECviewperf - synthetic graphics benchmark
- http://www.tux.org/pub/benchmarks/ Xengine - a little X window toy that shows the speed with which a system will redraw a coloured bitmap on screen (a simulation of a four cycle engine).
