Linux 3.2 Kernel Benchmarking
Linux kernel benchmarking from an Intel Core i7 3960X overclocked to 4.5GHz on an Intel X79 motherboard as a review sample from Intel for future articles on Phoronix.com. Testing from the Linux 3.2 kernel and older. Using generic mainline Ubuntu kernel PPA to easy reproduce.

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.

Nexuiz
This is a benchmark of Nexuiz, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game uses the DarkPlaces engine, which is a largely modified version of the Quake engine with extra features such as High Dynamic Range rendering and OpenGL 2.0 shaders. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
OpenArena
This is a test of OpenArena, a popular open-source first-person shooter. This game is based upon ioquake3, which in turn uses the GPL version of id Software's Quake 3 engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
