I've just finished porting what we thought were the 8 most useful benchmarks from the lmbench v.2 suite to run natively in Plan 9. The benchmarks are: bw_file_rd: Measure file read bandwidth bw_mem: Measure memory bandwidth for a several different operations bw_pipe: Measure pipe bandwidth bw_tcp: Measure tcp bandwidth on the local machine lat_ctx: Measure context switch latency lat_syscall: Measure system call latency lat_tcp: Measure tcp latency on local system lat_udp: Measure udp latency on local system
As I note in the README, lmbench's license carries the additional restriction that you cannot publish results from modified benchmarks, so keep your results to yourself. The source is in /n/sources/contrib/john/9bench.tgz John
