Stress-NG
Stress-NG is a Linux stress tool developed by Colin King of Canonical. 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.
Memcached mcperf
This is a test of twmperf/mcperf with memcached. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Node.js Express HTTP Load Test
A Node.js Express server with a Node-based loadtest client for facilitating HTTP benchmarking. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Redis
Redis is an open-source data structure server. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
NGINX Benchmark
This is a test of ab, which is the Apache Benchmark program running against nginx. This test profile measures how many requests per second a given system can sustain when carrying out 2,000,000 requests with 500 requests being carried out concurrently. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Node.js Octane Benchmark
A Node.js version of the JavaScript Octane Benchmark. 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.
Systemd Total Boot Time
This test uses systemd-analyze to report the entire boot time. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Hackbench
This is a benchmark of Hackbench, a test of the Linux kernel scheduler. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
GIMP
GIMP is an open-source image manipulaton program. This test profile will use the system-provided GIMP program otherwise on Windows relys upon a pre-packaged Windows binary from upstream GIMP.org. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
OSBench
OSBench is a collection of micro-benchmarks for measuring operating system primitives like time to create threads/processes, launching programs, creating files, and memory allocation. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
