NetPIPE is a protocol independent performance tool that encapsulates
the best of ttcp and netperf and visually represents the network
performance under a variety of conditions. By taking the end-to-end
application view of a network, NetPIPE clearly shows the overhead
associated with different protocol layers. Netpipe answers such
questions as: how soon will a given data block of size k arrive at its
destination? Which network and protocol will transmit size k blocks
the fastest? What is a given network's effective maximum throughput
and saturation level? Does there exist a block size k for which the
throughput is maximized? How much communication overhead is due to the
network communication protocol layer(s)? How quickly will a small (< 1
kbyte) control message arrive, and which network and protocol are best
for this purpose?
For a paper fully describing NetPIPE and sample investigation of
network performance issues using NetPIPE, see the homepage.
Railsbench is a small collection of ruby scripts which make measuring
raw performance of rails apps a snap. All tests are run from the
command prompt, making performance regression testing easy.
Sipp is a performance test tool / traffic generator for the SIP protocol.

interfaces.
Babel is a program designed to interconvert a number of file formats
currently used in molecular modeling. Babel is capable of assigning
hybridization, bond order, and connectivity when these elements are
not present in the input file.
FastTree infers approximately-maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from
alignments of nucleotide or protein sequences. FastTree can handle alignments
with up to a million of sequences in a reasonable amount of time and memory.
Open Chinese Convert (OpenCC) is an open source Simplified-Traditional
Chinese conversion project, providing high quality thesaurus and libopencc,
as well as a conversion utility and a dictionary generator.
