This is a Linux/Unix port of release 2 of BYTE Magazine's BYTEmark benchmark
program (previously known as BYTE's Native Mode Benchmarks). It is designed
to expose the capabilities of a system's CPU, FPU, and memory system.
This is a network benchmark for DOS, OS/2 2.x, Windows NT/2000 and Unix.
It measures the net throughput of a network via NetBIOS and/or TCP/IP
protocols (Unix and DOS only support TCP/IP) using various different
packet sizes.
One instance has to run on one machine as a server process, another
instance is used on another machine to perform the benchmark. When
executed without arguments, the program will explain its usage.
NetPerfMeter is a network performance meter for the UDP,
TCP, SCTP and DCCP transport protocols over IPv4 and IPv6.
It simultaneously transmits bidirectional flows to an endpoint
and measures the resulting flow bandwidths and QoS. The
results are written as vector and scalar files. The vector
files can e.g. be used to create plots of the results.
Pathload is a tool that can estimate the available bandwidth of network
paths.
Pathrate is a tool that can estimate the capacity of network paths. An
important feature of Pathrate is that it is robust to cross traffic
effects, meaning that it can measure the path capacity even when the
path is significantly loaded. This is crucial, since the hardest paths
to measure are the heavily loaded ones.
Pipebench shows the current throughput and amount of data going through a
pipe. It can be used to show the progress of a large md5sum process:
cat bigfile | pipebench | md5sum.

UnixBench v4.1 based on the BYTE UNIX Benchmarks v3.
Artemis is a DNA sequence viewer and annotation tool that allows
visualisation of sequence features and the results of analyses within
the context of the sequence, and its six-frame translation. Artemis is
written in Java, reads EMBL or GENBANK format sequences and feature
tables, and can work on sequences of any size.
ACT (Artemis Comparison Tool) is a DNA sequence comparison viewer based
on Artemis. It can open two or more sequences (and their
annotations/features) together with their comparisons (usually the
result of running blastn or tblastx searches).
fastDNAml is a program derived from Joseph Felsenstein's version 3.3 DNAML
(part of his PHYLIP package). Users should consult the documentation for
DNAML before using this program.
fastDNAml is an attempt to solve the same problem as DNAML, but to do so
faster and using less memory, so that larger trees and/or more bootstrap
replicates become tractable. Much of fastDNAml is merely a recoding of the
PHYLIP 3.3 DNAML program from PASCAL to C.
MAPMAKER/EXP is a linkage analysis package designed to help construct primary
linkage maps of markers segregating in experimental crosses. MAPMAKER/EXP
performs full multipoint linkage analysis (simultaneous estimation of all
recombination fractions from the primary data) for dominant, recessive, and co-
dominant (e.g. RFLP-like) markers. MAPMAKER/EXP is an experimental-cross-only
successor to the original MAPMAKER program.
MAPMAKER/QTL is a companion program to MAPMAKER/EXP which allows one to map
genes controlling polygenic quantitative traits in F2 intercrosses and BC1
backcrosses relative to a genetic linkage map. More information on MAPMAKER/QTL
can be found in the technical report (included with MAPMAKER/QTL).
