HandelSpielVM vs. KVM Linux Virt Performance
HandelSpielVM 4.0 performance benchmarks under Linux with Ubuntu 11.10 guest and host virtualization compared to Linux KVM virtualization. Two different systems, quick testing of Phoronix Test Suite 3.6-Arendal release. More benchmark results may come later.

CLOMP
CLOMP is the C version of the Livermore OpenMP benchmark developed to measure OpenMP overheads and other performance impacts due to threading in order to influence future system designs. This particular test profile configuration is currently set to look at the OpenMP static schedule speed-up across all available CPU cores using the recommended test configuration. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
Timed MAFFT Alignment
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.
