Does anyone know of (a) program(s) that will bench test the following:

· Network transfer speed (test the data transfer of the NICs)

· Hard drive data transfer (between two hard drives)

· CPU actual processing speed (proc/cpuinfo shows what your cpu is supposed to do. Is this a actual bench test?)

Also, I’d appreciate any other bench marks that could be tested on the system under Linux.

Thanks.

bonnie++ is a popular disk benchmarking program. You can find it here http://www.zdnet.com/etestinglabs/filters/benchmarks/

nbench is a port of a BYTE magazine cpu test. http://members.nbci.com/Gavrilov_Con/nbench/index.html

netperf is a network benchmark tool provided by someone who works at HP. http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html

http://www.zdnet.com/etestinglabs/filters/benchmarks/ also has some nice benchmarking programs (a file server bench and a web server bench), although I think they require atleast 1 windows machine to act as the "client".

SPEC provides many of the industry standard benchmark programs..but these ones are not free. http://www.specbench.org/

Hi,

I revive this old thread for the same reason, trying to find a good benchmark for CPU and Hard drive data transfer. Let me note down this just for the archive.

Seems to me that benchmarking is not as actively developed/maintained in Linux world than in Windoze world. This is something that I found that is most easy to use, in a sense that you don't need to compile anything for it to work.

StressLinux 0.3.1
http://nixbit.com/cat/system/operati...i/stresslinux/

which comes with

# stress 0.18.1 (A tool to impose certain types of stress on a POSIX system.)

# CPUBurn 1.4 (CPU maximum load (heat) stability test)

# CPU Burn-In 1.00 (CPU burn-in test)

# nbench 2.2.1 (CPU test suite)

# iometer 2003.12.16 (I/O performance meter)

# hddtemp 0.3beta11 (A program to display the temperature of your hard drive.)

# lm_sensors 2.8.7 (LM78 and other hardware monitor drivers.)

# busybox 1.0.0rc3 (Single small executable which contains common UNIX utilities)

# lshw A.01.07 (Hardware lister)

# bonnie++ 1.03a (Hard drive benchmark)

# netio 1.23 (Network benchmark)

# smartmontools 5.32 (S.M.A.R.T. drivetests)

# x86info 1.12b (CPU information)

# memtest86 3.1a (A stand-alone memory diagnostic)

# memtest86+ 1.15 (An other stand-alone memory diagnostic)

One problem is that it is dated and the development on it has stopped.

If you know anything better, please comment. Again, I'm looking for personal benchmark tools for CPU and Hard drive data transfer, not some all-inclusive enterprises one. At least it should output CPU Drystone, Whetstone, FPU, ALU, etc numbers

Thanks
