Benchmark Tools
- 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.
- NetIO-GUI is a Windows frontend for the multiplatform commandline utility 'netio'. It measures ICMP respond times and network transfer rates for different packet sizes and protocols. All results are stored in a SQLite database file and can easily be compared.
- 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.
- PCMark is an industry standard benchmark for Windows PCs and Android devices.
- Bringing the popular GFXBench benchmarking suite to desktop OpenGL and OpenGL ES 3.1 plus Android Extension Pack, GFXBench 4.0 enables measuring mobile and desktop performance with advanced graphics effects and increased workloads.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ashampoo HDD Control 2 provides complete monitoring of your hard drive(s). The software supports not only all common IDE and serial ATA hard drive(s), but also provides improved support for external USB hard drives and solid state drives (SSDs).
- Paid • Proprietary
- Windows
- Computer diagnostics, hardware monitoring, network audit, and benchmarking.
- 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.
- 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.
- DiskMark is a small utility that allows you to benchmark your disks and hard drives performance.
- SQLIO is a tool provided by Microsoft which can also be used to determine the I/O capacity of a given configuration.
