This is a test profile to run MAXON Cinebench on Windows. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
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.
AppTimer
IOzone
The IOzone benchmark tests the hard disk drive / file-system performance. 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.

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.
Redis
t-test1
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.
Redis
Ethr
Ethr is a cross-platform Golang-written network performance measurement tool developed by Microsoft that is capable of testing multiple protocols and different measurements. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Tesseract OCR
Tesseract-OCR is the open-source optical character recognition (OCR) engine for the conversion of text within images to raw text output. This test profile relies upon a system-supplied Tesseract installation. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Go Benchmarks
Benchmark for monitoring real time performance of the Go implementation for HTTP, JSON and garbage testing per iteration. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

This is a test profile to run MAXON Cinebench on Windows. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
AppTimer
DaCapo Benchmark
This test runs the DaCapo Benchmarks written in Java and intended to test system/CPU performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
LAME MP3 Encoding
LAME is an MP3 encoder licensed under the LGPL. This test measures the time required to encode a WAV file to MP3 format. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
OpenSSL
Blender
Blender is an open-source 3D creation software project. This test is of Blender's Cycles benchmark with various sample files. GPU computing via OpenCL or CUDA is supported. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Perl Benchmarks
Perl benchmark suite that can be used to compare the relative speed of different versions of perl. 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 five times. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
AppTimer
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.
Git
This test measures the time needed to carry out some sample Git operations on an example, static repository that happens to be a copy of the GNOME GTK tool-kit repository. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
BlogBench
BlogBench is designed to replicate the load of a real-world busy file server by stressing the file-system with multiple threads of random reads, writes, and rewrites. The behavior is mimicked of that of a blog by creating blogs with content and pictures, modifying blog posts, adding comments to these blogs, and then reading the content of the blogs. All of these blogs generated are created locally with fake content and pictures. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
