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.
