perfex is a utility which accesses the hardware performance counters on Intel P6-based Linux systems to measure performance characteristics of other programs. It functions similarly to the Cray UNICOS hpm and the SGI IRIX perfex utilities, in that you...
SGI Runs TPC-H Benchmark on Linux on a SGI 1450 server with four nodes, each of which has four processors, running a 2.4.3 kernel and IBM's DB2 database. The resulting performance set a new world record for databases.
This site focuses on three basic uses of benchmarking: Comparing similar versions of Linux on different hardware, comparing different versions of Linux on the same hardware, and comparing Linux to other operating systems on the same hardware.
