mdtest is an MPI-coordinated metadata filesystem benchmark test that
performs open/stat/close operations on files and directories and then
reports achieved performance.
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.
Framework to benchmark PHP scripts or function calls.
Postal is a SMTP benchmark.
Postal-list will list all the possible expansions for an account name
(used for creating a list of accounts to create on your test server).
Rabid is the mad Biff, it is a POP benchmark.
PostMark is the benchmark used in the NetApp Technical Report TR-3022,
"PostMark: A New File System Benchmark". The paper fully explains how
to use this tool.
From the paper's Abstract:
Existing file system benchmarks are deficient in portraying
performance in the ephemeral small-file regime used by Internet
software, especially:
* electronic mail
* netnews
* web-based commerce
PostMark is a new benchmark to measure performance for this class of
application.
Pybench is an extensible benchmark suite for Python.
SysBench is a modular, cross-platform and multi-threaded benchmark tool
for evaluating OS parameters that are important for a system running a
database under intensive load.
The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about
system performance without setting up complex database benchmarks or
even without installing a database at all.
Current features allow to test the following system parameters:
* file I/O performance
* scheduler performance
* memory allocation and transfer speed
* POSIX threads implementation performance
* database server performance (OLTP benchmark)
Primarily written for MySQL server benchmarking, SysBench will be
further extended to support multiple database backends, distributed
benchmarks and third-party plug-in modules.
SPP provides frequently updated RTT estimates using IP traffic already
present in the network. SPP estimates the RTT between two measurement
points without requiring precise time synchronisation between each
point. SPP accurately estimates the RTT experienced by any application's
traffic without needing modifications to the application itself
or the routers along the path.
The STREAM benchmark is a simple synthetic benchmark program that
measures sustainable memory bandwidth (in MB/s) and the corresponding
computation rate for simple vector kernels.
