This is a benchmark of the Bullet Physics Engine. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
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.
ebizzy
This is a test of ebizzy, a program to generate workloads resembling web server workloads. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FFTW
FFTW is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Fhourstones
FLAC Audio Encoding
This test times how long it takes to encode a sample WAV file to FLAC format three times. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
GraphicsMagick
This is a test of GraphicsMagick with its OpenMP implementation that performs various imaging tests to stress the system's CPU. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Hierarchical INTegration
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.
John The Ripper
This is a benchmark of John The Ripper, which is a password cracker. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
LAME MP3 Encoding
LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator
LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code, and an acronym for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
N-Queens
This is a test of the OpenMP version of a test that solves the N-queens problem. The board problem size is 18. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
OpenSSL
OpenSSL is an open-source toolkit that implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. This test measures the RSA 4096-bit performance of OpenSSL. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
PostgreSQL pgbench
