VirtualBox vs. VMware Fusion - OS X Mountain Lion
VirtualBox vs. VMware Fusion benchmarks from OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion host on 2012 Apple MacBook Pro with Retina display. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64 guest each time comparing VMware and VirtualBox virtualization. Benchmarking by Michael Larabel for a future article on Phoronix.com.

NAS Parallel Benchmarks
FFTE
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.
TTSIOD 3D Renderer
VP8 libvpx Encoding
x264
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
C-Ray
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
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.
