GtkPerf is an application designed to test GTK+ performance. The point is to
create common testing platform to run predefined GTK+ widgets (opening
comboboxes, toggling buttons, scrolling text yms.) and this way define the speed
of device/platform.
Himeno Benchmark is made by HIMENO, Ryutaro,
for evaluation of performance of the calculation
of incompressible flow analysis. This program solves Poisson equation
by Jacobi's iterative method which have many loops.
HPL is a software package that solves a (random) dense linear system in double
precision (64 bits) arithmetic on distributed-memory computers. It can thus be
regarded as aportable as well as freely available implementation of the High
Performance Computing Linpack Benchmark.
The algorithm used by HPL can be summarized by the following keywords:
Two-dimensional block-cyclic data distribution - Right-looking variant of the
LU factorization with row partial pivoting featuring multiple look-ahead
depths - Recursive panel factorization with pivot search and column broadcast
combined - Various virtual panel broadcast topologies - bandwidth reducing
swap-broadcast algorithm - backward substitution with look-ahead of depth 1.
The HPL package provides a testing and timing program to quantify the accuracy
of the obtained solution as well as the time it took to compute it. The best
performance achievable by this software on your system depends on a large
variety of factors. Nonetheless, with some restrictive assumptions on the
interconnection network, the algorithm described here and its attached
implementation are scalable in the sense that their parallel efficiency is
maintained constant with respect to the per processor memory usage.
glmark2 is a benchmark for OpenGL (ES) 2.0. It uses only the subset of the
OpenGL 2.0 API that is compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0.
This benchmark application is designed to benchmark interactivity in Unix,
originally written by Con Kolivas et al. for Linux.
It is designed to measure the effect of changes in operating system kernel
design or system configuration changes such as CPU, I/O scheduler and file
system changes and options. With careful benchmarking, different hardware
can be compared.
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.
Iozone: 'IO Zone' Benchmark Program (older 2.1 version)
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.
This is the 2.1 version of iozone. The new 3.x+ versions of iozone have
completely changed their testing methods, thus their output is useless in
comparing with older statistics.
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.
iperf is a tool for measuring the maximum TCP and UDP bandwidth along
a path between two hosts. It allows the tuning of various
parameters and UDP characteristics, and reports bandwidth, delay
jitter, datagram loss. iperf was originally developed by NLANR/DAST.
iperf3 is a new implementation from scratch, with the goal of a
smaller, simpler code base, and a library version of the functionality
that can be used in other programs. iperf3 also a number of features
found in other tools such as nuttcp and netperf, but were missing from
iperf 2.x. iperf3 is not backwards compatible with iperf 2.x.
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.
