LevelDB
LevelDB is a key-value storage library developed by Google that supports making use of Snappy for data compression and has other modern features. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Flexible IO Tester
FIO, the Flexible I/O Tester, is an advanced Linux disk benchmark supporting multiple I/O engines and a wealth of options. FIO was written by Jens Axboe for testing of the Linux I/O subsystem and schedulers. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
PostMark
This is a test of NetApp's PostMark benchmark designed to simulate small-file testing similar to the tasks endured by web and mail servers. This test profile will set PostMark to perform 25,000 transactions with 500 files simultaneously with the file sizes ranging between 5 and 512 kilobytes. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
WireGuard + Linux Networking Stack Stress Test
This is a benchmark of the WireGuard secure VPN tunnel and Linux networking stack stress test. The test runs on the local host but does require root permissions to run. The way it works is it creates three namespaces. ns0 has a loopback device. ns1 and ns2 each have wireguard devices. Those two wireguard devices send traffic through the loopback device of ns0. The end result of this is that tests wind up testing encryption and decryption at the same time -- a pretty CPU and scheduler-heavy workflow. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Sockperf
This is a network socket API performance benchmark developed by Mellanox. This test profile runs both the client and server on the local host for evaluating individual 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.
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.
Timed Linux Kernel Compilation
This test times how long it takes to build the Linux kernel in a default configuration (defconfig) for the architecture being tested or alternatively an allmodconfig for building all possible kernel modules for the build. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
KeyDB
A benchmark of KeyDB as a multi-threaded fork of the Redis server. The KeyDB benchmark is conducted using memtier-benchmark. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
SQLite Speedtest
This is a benchmark of SQLite's speedtest1 benchmark program with an increased problem size of 1,000. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Darktable
Darktable is an open-source photography / workflow application this will use any system-installed Darktable program or on Windows will automatically download the pre-built binary from the project. 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.
Stress-NG
Stress-NG is a Linux stress tool developed by Colin King of Canonical. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Facebook RocksDB
This is a benchmark of Facebook's RocksDB as an embeddable persistent key-value store for fast storage based on Google's LevelDB. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Selenium
InfluxDB
This is a benchmark of the InfluxDB open-source time-series database optimized for fast, high-availability storage for IoT and other use-cases. The InfluxDB test profile makes use of InfluxDB Inch for facilitating the benchmarks. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
