Flexible IO Tester
Fio is an advanced disk benchmark that depends upon the kernel's AIO access library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FS-Mark
FS_Mark is designed to test a system's file-system performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
IOzone
The IOzone benchmark tests the hard disk drive / file-system performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
PostgreSQL pgbench
This is a simple benchmark of PostgreSQL using pgbench. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
