Parboil
The Parboil Benchmarks from the IMPACT Research Group at University of Illinois are a set of throughput computing applications for looking at computing architecture and compilers. Parboil test-cases support OpenMP, OpenCL, and CUDA multi-processing environments. However, at this time the test profile is just making use of the OpenMP and OpenCL test workloads. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Rodinia
Rodinia is a suite focused upon accelerating compute-intensive applications with accelerators. CUDA, OpenMP, and OpenCL parallel models are supported by the included applications. This profile utilizes the OpenCL and OpenMP test binaries at the moment. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

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
FFmpeg
OpenSSL
OpenSSL is an open-source toolkit that implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. This test measures the RSA 4096-bit performance of OpenSSL. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Systemd Total Boot Time
This test uses systemd-analyze to report the entire boot time. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Perl Benchmarks
Tensorflow
This is a benchmark of the Tensorflow deep learning framework using the CIFAR10 data set. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Redis
Blender
PyBench
PHPBench
PHPBench is a benchmark suite for PHP. It performs a large number of simple tests in order to bench various aspects of the PHP interpreter. PHPBench can be used to compare hardware, operating systems, PHP versions, PHP accelerators and caches, compiler options, etc. The number of iterations used is 1,000,000. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
