OpenArena
This is a test of OpenArena, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game is based upon ioquake3, which in turn uses the GPL version of id Software's Quake 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
World of Padman
Urban Terror
Warsow
This is a benchmark of Warsow, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game uses the QFusion engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Xonotic
GpuTest
PostMark
This is a test of NetApp's PostMark benchmark designed to simulate small-file testing similar to the tasks endured by web and mail servers. This test profile will set PostMark to perform 25,000 transactions with 500 files simultaneously with the file sizes ranging between 5 and 512 kilobytes. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
NAS Parallel Benchmarks
VP8 libvpx Encoding
x264
This is a simple test of the x264 H.264/AVC encoder run on the CPU (OpenCL support disabled). Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Timed Apache Compilation
This test times how long it takes to build the Apache HTTP Server. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Timed Linux Kernel Compilation
Timed PHP Compilation
C-Ray
This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FLAC Audio Encoding
This test times how long it takes to encode a sample WAV file to FLAC format three times. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
LAME MP3 Encoding
LAME is an MP3 encoder licensed under the LGPL. This test measures the time required to encode a WAV file to MP3 format. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FFmpeg
Apache Benchmark
This is a test of ab, which is the Apache benchmark program. This test profile measures how many requests per second a given system can sustain when carrying out 1,000,000 requests with 100 requests being carried out concurrently. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
