Flexible IO Tester
FS-Mark
Compile Bench
Compilebench tries to age a filesystem by simulating some of the disk IO common in creating, compiling, patching, stating and reading kernel trees. It indirectly measures how well filesystems can maintain directory locality as the disk fills up and directories age. This current test is setup to use the makej mode with 10 initial directories Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
OpenArena
Tesseract
Tesseract is a fork of Cube 2 Sauerbraten with numerous graphics and game-play improvements. Tesseract has been in development since 2012 while its first release happened in May of 2014. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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
NAS Parallel Benchmarks
LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator
TTSIOD 3D Renderer
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.
Himeno Benchmark
The Himeno benchmark is a linear solver of pressure Poisson using a point-Jacobi method. 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.
Smallpt
Smallpt is a C++ global illumination renderer written in less than 100 lines of code. Global illumination is done via unbiased Monte Carlo path tracing and there is multi-threading support via the OpenMP library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Stockfish
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.
