SQLite
This is a simple benchmark of SQLite. At present this test profile just measures the time to perform a pre-defined number of insertions on an indexed database. 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.
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.
Xonotic
This is a benchmark of Xonotic, which is a fork of the DarkPlaces-based Nexuiz game. Development began in March of 2010 on the Xonotic game. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
GpuTest
GpuTest is a cross-platform OpenGL benchmark developed at Geeks3D.com that offers tech demos such as FurMark, TessMark, and other workloads to stress various areas of GPUs and drivers. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
John The Ripper
This is a benchmark of John The Ripper, which is a password cracker. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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 Linux Kernel Compilation
This test times how long it takes to build the Linux 3.18 kernel. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
PostgreSQL pgbench
Redis
Redis is an open-source data structure server. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
