Dbench is a filesystem benchmark that generates load patterns similar to those
of the commercial Netbench benchmark, but without requiring a lab of Windows
load generators to run. It is now considered a de-facto standard for generating
load on the Linux VFS.
Fio is an I/O testing tool that will spawn a number of threads or
processes doing a particular type of I/O action as specified by
the user. Fio can be driven by a 'job file' describing the I/O
load one wants to simulate.
This library provides a powerful but simple way to measure sofware
performance. It provides both a framework for executing and analysing
benchmarks and a set of driver functions that makes it easy to build and
run benchmarks, and to analyse their results.
Iorate is a general purpose storage I/O benchmarking tool.
Iorate was created in 1997 by Vince Westin of EMC while working with Cliff
Burrell of FedEx to fill a need to perform a set of storage I/O benchmarks.
Though Iorate was developed by EMC staff with EMC resources there are no
EMC-specific pieces to the testing, it just tests storage.
SMHasher is a test suite designed to test the distribution, collision,
and performance properties of non-cryptographic hash functions - it
aims to be the "DieHarder" of hash testing, and does a pretty good job
of finding flaws with a number of popular hashes.
DIAMOND is a BLAST-compatible local aligner for mapping protein and translated
DNA query sequences against a protein reference database (BLASTP and BLASTX
alignment mode). The speedup over BLAST is up to 20,000 on short reads at a
typical sensitivity of 90-99% relative to BLAST depending on the data and
settings.
This package implements the Sim4 algorithm for aligning expressed DNA
with genomic sequences, described in the paper:
L. Florea, G. Hartzell, Z. Zhang, G. Rubin, and W. Miller (1998)
"A computer program for aligning a cDNA sequence with a genomic DNA sequence."
Genome Research 8, 967-974.
Port maintained by the FreeBSD bio-porters mailing list.
Recombine fits a model which has a single population of constant size with a
single recombination rate across all sites. It can accomodate either plain
DNA or RNA data or SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) data.
Recombine forms part of the Lamarc (Likelihood Analysis with Metropolis
Algorithm using Random Coalescence) suite. See:

Fritzing is an Electronic Design Automation software with a low
entry barrier, suited for the needs of designers and artists. It
uses the metaphor of the breadboard, so that it is easy to transfer
your hardware sketch to the software. From there it is possible to
create PCB layouts for turning it into a robust PCB yourself or by
help of a manufacturer.
Qucs is an integrated circuit simulator which means you are able to
setup a circuit with a graphical user interface (GUI) and simulate the
large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. After
that simulation has finished you can view the simulation results on a
presentation page or window.
