SQLite
This is a simple benchmark of SQLite. At present this test profile just measures the time to perform a pre-defined number of insertions on an indexed database. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Flexible IO Tester
FS-Mark
FS_Mark is designed to test a system's file-system performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Compile Bench
Compilebench tries to age a filesystem by simulating some of the disk IO common in creating, compiling, patching, stating and reading kernel trees. It indirectly measures how well filesystems can maintain directory locality as the disk fills up and directories age. This current test is setup to use the makej mode with 10 initial directories Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Go Benchmarks
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.
Timed Apache Compilation
This test times how long it takes to build the Apache HTTP Server. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Timed Linux Kernel Compilation
This test times how long it takes to build the Linux kernel. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
Systemd Total Boot Time
This test uses systemd-analyze to report the entire boot time. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
PostgreSQL pgbench
This is a simple benchmark of PostgreSQL using pgbench. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Darktable
GIMP
Redis
Stress-NG
Stress-NG is a Linux stress tool developed by Colin King of Canonical. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Apache Benchmark
This is a test of ab, which is the Apache benchmark program. This test profile measures how many requests per second a given system can sustain when carrying out 1,000,000 requests with 100 requests being carried out concurrently. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
PHPBench
PHPBench is a benchmark suite for PHP. It performs a large number of simple tests in order to bench various aspects of the PHP interpreter. PHPBench can be used to compare hardware, operating systems, PHP versions, PHP accelerators and caches, compiler options, etc. The number of iterations used is 1,000,000. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
