Dbench is a benchmark designed by the Samba project as a free alternative to netbench, but dbench contains only file-system calls for testing the disk performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FIO, the Flexible I/O Tester, is an advanced Linux disk benchmark supporting multiple I/O engines and a wealth of options. FIO was written by Jens Axboe for testing of the Linux I/O subsystem and schedulers. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FS_Mark is designed to test a system's file-system performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
IOR is a parallel I/O storage benchmark making use of MPI with a particular focus on HPC (High Performance Computing) systems. IOR is developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a simple benchmark of SQLite. At present this test profile just measures the time to perform a pre-defined number of insertions on an indexed database. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a benchmark of PostgreSQL using pgbench for facilitating the database benchmarks. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a MariaDB MySQL database server benchmark making use of mysqlslap. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
