vitunes is a curses-based playlist manager and media player for *nix operating
systems with vim-like keybinds. Its primary goal is to serve as an index of
"tagged" multimedia files and provide a quick, easy interface for browsing &
searching your files, and creating playlists.
WindowMaker dockapp mixer that allows toggling record source, muting individual
channels, adjusting volume and balance, all in a compact dockapp size, with
TV-like on-screen-display for volume levels. Supports mousewheel to adjust
current channel volume, and can be controlled remotely with SIGUSR1 / SIGUSR2
to adjust the volume, too. Keeps a simple configuration file for user-defined
settings.
Music Player Minion is a client for the Music Player Daemon network
music player. The purpose of MPD and it's clients is to allow music
playback on one PC (such as a home media server) to be controlled
from another over the network.
Iozone: 'IO Zone' Benchmark Program
Iozone tests the speed of sequential I/O to actual files. Therefore,
this measurement factors in the efficiency of your machine's file
system, operating system, C compiler, and C runtime library. It
produces a measurement which is the number of bytes per second that
your system can read or write to a file.
What is Iperf?
While tools to measure network performance, such as ttcp,
exist, most are very old and have confusing options. Iperf
was developed as a modern alternative for measuring TCP
and UDP bandwidth performance.
Iperf is a tool to measure maximum TCP bandwidth, allowing
the tuning of various parameters and UDP characteristics.
Iperf reports bandwidth, delay jitter, datagram loss.
LibMicro is a portable set of microbenchmarks that many Solaris engineers
used during Solaris 10 development to measure the performance of various
system and library calls. LibMicro was developed by Bart Smaalders and
Phil Harman as part of their If another OS is faster it's a Solaris bug
performance campaign.
SciMark 2.0 is a Java benchmark for scientific and numerical computing.
It measures several computational kernels and reports a composite score
in approximate Mflops (Millions of floating point operations per second).
Results of this benchmark can be sent to pozo@nist.gov and are listed at
<http://math.nist.gov/cgi-bin/ScimarkSummary>;.
Siege is an http regression testing and benchmarking utility. It was
designed to let web developers measure the performance of their code
under duress, to see how it will stand up to load on the internet. It
lets the user hit a web server with a configurable number of
concurrent simulated users.
BasicDSP is an educational tool that makes it easy to experiment with simple
Digital Signal Processing algorithms for audio signals. The input can either
be taken from the sound card, or be a locally generated sine wave, white noise
or impulse signal. The output is fed to the sound card, as well as to a virtual
oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer.
FidoCadJ is an easy to use graphical editor, with a library of electrical
symbols and footprints (traditional and SMD). It aims to be an agile and
effective small EDA tool for hobbyists.
FidoCadJ stores its drawings in a compact text format, practical for the
copy and paste in newsgroups and forums: this has determined its success
on the Usenet and in numerous communities.
