Geekbench is a cross-platform benchmark suite for Mac OS X, Windows,
Solaris, and Linux. Geekbench is designed to measure the performance
an average application can expect from both the processor and the
memory subsystem.

Geekbench's benchmarks are written in platform-neutral C++, and have
no platform-specific optimizations. Geekbench is compiled with what we
consider the de-facto standard compiler for each platform, with the
compiler switches suggested by the compiler vendor for release code.

This is GSBench for GNUstep. It started as a simple conversion of NXBench for
NEXTSTEP. I rewrote the entire application for version 0.5 in order to have an
open architecture which allows the integration of other benchmarks by using
bundles.

The idea of IMB is to provide a concise set of elementary MPI
benchmark kernels. With one executable, all of the supported
benchmarks, or a subset specified by the command line, can be run.
The rules, such as time measurement (including a repetitive call
of the kernels for better clock synchronization), message lengths,
selection of communicators to run a particular benchmark (inside
the group of all started processes) are program parameters.

GtkPerf is an application designed to test GTK+ performance. The point is to
create common testing platform to run predefined GTK+ widgets (opening
comboboxes, toggling buttons, scrolling text yms.) and this way define the speed
of device/platform.

The program thrulay is used to measure the capacity, delay, and
other performance metrics of a network by sending a bulk TCP or UDP
stream over it.

Special features of thrulay include:
* For TCP, ability to measure round-trip delay along with throughput
* For UDP, ability to measure
  - one-way delay, with quantiles
  - packet loss
  - packet duplication
  - reordering
* For UDP, the ability to send precisely positioned true Poisson streams
  (microsecond errors in sending times)
* Human- and machine-readable output (ready to be fed to gnuplot)

Add pathrate.

Pathrate is a tool that can estimate the capacity of network paths. An
important feature of Pathrate is that it is robust to cross traffic effects,
meaning that it can measure the path capacity even when the path is
significantly loaded. This is crucial, since the hardest paths to measure are
the heavily loaded ones.

Add pathchirp.

pathChirp is a new active probing tool for estimating the available bandwidth
on a communication network path. Based on the concept of "self-induced
congestion", pathChirp features an exponential flight pattern of probes we
call a chirp. Packet chirps offer several significant advantages over current
probing schemes based on packet pairs or packet trains. By rapidly increasing
the probing rate within each chirp, pathChirp obtains a rich set of
information from which to dynamically estimate the available bandwidth.

Blogbench is a portable filesystem benchmark that tries to reproduce the
load of a real-world busy file server.

It stresses the filesystem with multiple threads performing random reads,
writes and rewrites in order to get a realistic idea of the scalability
and the concurrency a system can handle.

pjd's src/tools/tools/raidtest as a port.

Add dkftpbench 0.45,

dkftpbench is an FTP benchmark program inspired by SPECweb99. The
result of the benchmark is a number-of-simultaneous-users rating;
after running the benchmark properly, you have a good idea how many
simultaneous dialup clients a server can support. The target
bandwidth per client is set at 28.8 kilobits/second to model dialup
users; this is important for servers on the real Internet, which
often serve thousands of clients on only 10 MBits/sec of bandwidth.

[REPOCOPY WAITING] ports/net/nttcp and ports/net/ttcp appear miscategorized

    Julian Elischer suggested a new category "net/benchmarks" because
    he believes that too many ports are listed under net/.  Checking
    into it, I noticed that these two ports are described as
    benchmarking programs.  In the Porters' Handbook, the net
    category is described as "miscellaneous networking software".
    The benchmarks category seems more specific so I feel that it
    is preferable.

        This is an ANSI C version of the SciMark2 benchmark,

        making this benchmark available in C is mainly for performance
