Benchmarking of Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) with c1.xlarge instance when comparing Linux x86_64 performance using the Linux distributions of Amazon Linux AMI and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (SLES 11) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 (RHEL 6.3). Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.

LAME is an MP3 encoder licensed under the LGPL. This test measures the time required to encode a WAV file to MP3 format. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
The Himeno benchmark is a linear solver of pressure Poisson using a point-Jacobi method. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FFTE is a package by Daisuke Takahashi to compute Discrete Fourier Transforms of 1-, 2- and 3- dimensional sequences of length (2^p)*(3^q)*(5^r). Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Smallpt is a C++ global illumination renderer written in less than 100 lines of code. Global illumination is done via unbiased Monte Carlo path tracing and there is multi-threading support via the OpenMP library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
