Timed HMMer Search
This test searches through the Pfam database of profile hidden markov models. The search finds the domain structure of Drosophila Sevenless protein. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
GNU GMP GMPbench
GMPbench is a test of the GMP 6.1.2 math library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
TSCP
This is a performance test of TSCP, Tom Kerrigan's Simple Chess Program, which has a built-in performance benchmark. 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.
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
This test times how long it takes to build the Linux kernel. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Stockfish
Systemd Total Boot Time
This test uses systemd-analyze to report the entire boot time. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
glibc bench
The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Tensorflow
This is a benchmark of the Tensorflow deep learning framework using the CIFAR10 data set. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
PostgreSQL pgbench
This is a simple benchmark of PostgreSQL using pgbench. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Redis
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.
