Xbench was developed by Spiny Software to provide a comprehensive benchmarking solution for Mac OS X. Xbench is useful not only for comparing the relative speeds of two different Macintoshes, but also for optimizing performance on a single machine.

HWM BlackBox is a utility designed to deliver precise details on the core components of your computer to the maximum. As well as providing you with in-depth information about hardware such as the processor, memory modules, mainboard, hard drives and video card, it also offers...

Measures both sustained and burst data transfer rates of your hard disks, cd/dvd-roms, flash cards/sticks, floppys, etc. Realtime graphical display.

LinX is a graphical interface for Linpack, a benchmark designed to measure CPU performance. Linpack is also a very useful tool for checking the stability of a CPU. LinX features:

AOSMark scores Android phone manufacturers on how many OS updates they pushed to their phones on an average in the past. The scores usually range from 0 to 6; Higher scores are better since they mean longer support for devices from the manufacturer.

HTTP load generator, ApacheBench (ab) replacement, formerly known as rakyll/boom

Vdbench is a disk and tape I/O workload generator for verifying data integrity and measuring performance of direct attached and network connected storage on Windows, Solaris, Linux, AIX, OS/X and HP/UX.

IOzone is a filesystem benchmark tool. The benchmark generates and measures a variety of file operations.

Kraken is a JavaScript performance benchmark created by Mozilla that measures the speed of several different test cases extracted from real-world applications and libraries.

LANBench is a simple LAN / TCP Network benchmark utility. It is designed for testing network performance between two computers and is based on Winsock 2.2. LANBench tests TCP performance only and is designed for minimal CPU usage so that the pure performance of your network...

Super PI is a single threaded benchmark that calculates pi to a specific number of digits. It uses the Gauss-Legendre algorithm and is a Windows port of a program used by Yasumasa Kanada in 1995 to compute pi to 232 digits.

I want to know how fast are my disks really are, in a real life situations. Not in a synthetic benchmarking program that will display figures that I will never be able to meet.

DiskMark is a small utility that allows you to benchmark your disks and hard drives performance.

ab is a tool for benchmarking your web server. It is designed to give you an impression of how your current web server installation performs. This especially shows you how many requests per second your web server installation is capable of serving.

Anvil's Storage Utilities is a powerful tool that comes packed with many useful features for helping you test the performance of a solid-state drive or hard disk drive.

SQLIO is a tool provided by Microsoft which can also be used to determine the I/O capacity of a given configuration.

Netperf is a benchmark that can be used to measure the performance of many different types of networking. It provides tests for both unidirectional throughput, and end-to-end latency.

NetIO-GUI is a Windows frontend for the multiplatform commandline utility 'netio'.

The FLExible Network Tester.

CCSIO Benchmark measures maximum sequential read/write speed that is realistically achievable for a given file system location, including local drives, remote network shares, virtual/pseudo devices such as RAM disks and encrypted file containers.

A utility for testing the performance of a wireless or wired network that sends TCP and UDP data streams and computes important metrics: upstream and downstream throughput values, packet loss, and round-trip time, etc. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.

During the test, Video Card Stability Test as much as possible loads GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), this ability can be very useful for detection of frequencies on which the video card can stably work.

Every developer has, I have at least, been in the situation, that I needed some quite performant code, but didn't know which piece of code is faster - and how does one even test this? 🤔

QuickBench is a simple to use but powerful hard disk performance benchmarking tool. It provides three built-in, industry trusted test suites which measure the performance of dozens of preset hard disk transfer sizes.

Really easy to use application: just one button 2 go. SpeedOut is an application, created for calculating USB drive (stick or external HDD) read/write speed. It is using low-level technology, which allows you to know REAL drive speed, without slowdowns, caused by File System.
