JDiskMark is a powerful and versatile disk benchmarking tool written in Java, designed to help you accurately measure the performance of your storage devices across different operating systems. Whether you're testing HDDs, SSDs, or network drives, JDiskMark provides reliable insights into your disk's read and write speeds. ubuntu/debian installer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jdiskmark/files/jdiskmark_0.6.3_amd64.deb/download rhel / fedora installer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jdiskmark/files/jdiskmark-0.6.3-1.x86_64.rpm/download windows installer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jdiskmark/files/jdiskmark-0.6.3.msi/download note: running with elevated privileges allow jdiskmark to automate clearing of the disk cache. ZIP releases require java to be installed separately: * v0.6.3 > jdk25 * v0.5.0-v0.6.2 >jdk21 * v0.1-v0.4 > Java 8 user manual: https://github.com/JDiskMark/jdm-java/wiki/0.6.0-User-Manual feedback welcome: support@jdiskmark.net

A command-line benchmarking tool. Statistical analysis across multiple runs. Support for arbitrary shell commands. Constant feedback about the benchmark progress and current estimates. Warmup runs can be executed before the actual benchmark. Cache-clearing commands can be set up before each timing run. Statistical outlier detection to detect interference from other programs and caching effects. Export results to various formats: CSV, JSON, Markdown, AsciiDoc. Parameterized benchmarks (e.g. vary the number of threads). Cross-platform. Hyperfine will automatically determine the number of runs to perform for each command. By default, it will perform at least 10 benchmarking runs and measure for at least 3 seconds. For programs that perform a lot of disk I/O, the benchmarking results can be heavily influenced by disk caches and whether they are cold or warm. If you want to run the benchmark on a warm cache, you can use the -w/--warmup option.

7-max increases the performance of some applications up to 10-20%. Windows uses small (4 KB) RAM pages by default. 7-max allows to use large (2 MB) RAM pages.

File Read Test is a tool that reads disk files or directories and stops on the first read error. A second tool, Quick Disk Test, fills a disk with test data and verifies that it can be read back without errors.

Likwid is a simple to install and use toolsuite of command line applications and a library for performance oriented programmers. It works for Intel, AMD, ARMv8 and POWER9 processors on the Linux operating system. There is additional support for Nvidia and AMD GPUs. There is support for ARMv7 and POWER8/9 but there is currently no test machine in our hands to test them properly.

Yet Another Process Monitor (YAPM) is a powerful process viewer for Windows that monitors the services & processes, their modules, threads, handles, windows, TCP/UDP connections... etc. running on local system or on any of the computers on your network.

Wintel based platform system power management and analysis utilities.

In 2015, we converted cBench to open Collective Knowledge Format (CK) and moved it here: http://github.com/ctuning/ctuning-programs CK allows you to simplify compilation and execution of these benchmarks across multiple platforms (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android ...). Collective Benchmark (cBench) is a collection/extension of open-source programs and multiple datasets to enable realistic benchmarking and research on program and architecture optimization.

HardInfo displays information about your hardware and operating system.

Distributed session caching tools and APIs, primarily for SSL/TLS servers though perhaps useful for other (non-SSL/TLS) circumstances. Also includes a self-contained network abstraction library (libnal), and the sslswamp SSL/TLS benchmark/test utility.

New owners (Oracle), new rules: Vdbench has been moved to Oracle Technology Network (OTN) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vdbench-downloads-1901681.html

This Solaris system monitoring tool allows to perform standard SAR activity reporting and NMON activity reporting. The NMON output can be imported with Excel or RRD to output simple and efficient graphs.

netstress is a client/server utility designed to stress & benchmark network activity of a given ethernet device or path using simulated (random) real world data and packet sizes instead of fixed data and packet sizes.

Fast Elixir is a curated collection of performance-focused best practices, idioms, and code snippets for writing efficient Elixir programs. The project documents common patterns in Elixir and compares their relative performance using benchmarks to guide developers toward faster and more memory-friendly code. By showcasing side-by-side examples, it highlights not only which approaches are faster but also why certain functions or techniques should be preferred in different scenarios. The repository is designed as a practical reference for developers who want to optimize Elixir applications without diving into premature micro-optimizations. Its goal is not just speed but also clarity, ensuring that performance improvements do not come at the cost of readability and maintainability. With continuously updated examples, Fast Elixir helps both beginners and experienced Elixir programmers adopt better habits and avoid slow patterns.

The Synthetic Data Gym (SDGym) is a benchmarking framework for modeling and generating synthetic data. Measure performance and memory usage across different synthetic data modeling techniques – classical statistics, deep learning and more! The SDGym library integrates with the Synthetic Data Vault ecosystem. You can use any of its synthesizers, datasets or metrics for benchmarking. You also customize the process to include your own work. Select any of the publicly available datasets from the SDV project, or input your own data. Choose from any of the SDV synthesizers and baselines. Or write your own custom machine learning model. In addition to performance and memory usage, you can also measure synthetic data quality and privacy through a variety of metrics. Install SDGym using pip or conda. We recommend using a virtual environment to avoid conflicts with other software on your device.
