Ever wondered why your new computer feels sluggish -- or afraid you'll blow your overclocked processor to smithereens? The Inquisitor testing platform wraps the best of open source benchmarking tools in special scripts to help you test and diagnose your hardware. It's simple to use for desktop users, and if you are a computer reseller or vendor, you can also use it to stress-test thousands of computers simultaneously before shipping them off.
Hi there,
I've setup a raid0 array of 3 identical disks using :
mdadm --create --verbose /dev/md0 --level=stripe --raid-devices=3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1I'm using dstat to monitor the disk activity :
dstat --epoch -D sdb,sdc,sdd --disk-util 30The results show that the stress is not... (8 Replies)
I need a little clarification in understanding why there would be a need for a benchmark file when used with a backup script. Logically thinking would tell me that the backups itself(backuptest.tgz) would have the time created and etc. So what would be the purpose of such a file:

Hey I was wondering if anyone knows here I can get a graph of Intel Vs AMD CPU's graph.
I have found one and it's great though only for the desktop CPU. I'm also looking for one that includes the Pentium M CPU's and the next CPU's after that.
This is because I'm looking at getting a laptop... (1 Reply)
I downloaded the unix s/w given in the bench marks to my home laptop.
The C: drive isn't partitioned.The instructions are given to unzip, make and run.
please list the proper ways to do the commands how to unzipa nd make them.
should i partition my hard drive? (3 Replies)
SPEED(1SSL) OpenSSL SPEED(1SSL)NAME
openssl-speed, speed - test library performance
SYNOPSIS
openssl speed [-help] [-engine id] [-elapsed] [-evp algo] [-decrypt] [-rand file...] [-writerand file] [-primes num] [-seconds num]
[-bytes num] [algorithm...]
DESCRIPTION
This command is used to test the performance of cryptographic algorithms. To see the list of supported algorithms, use the list
--digest-commands or list --cipher-commands command. The global CSPRNG is denoted by the rand algorithm name.
OPTIONS -help
Print out a usage message.
-engine id
Specifying an engine (by its unique id string) will cause speed to attempt to obtain a functional reference to the specified engine,
thus initialising it if needed. The engine will then be set as the default for all available algorithms.
-elapsed
When calculating operations- or bytes-per-second, use wall-clock time instead of CPU user time as divisor. It can be useful when
testing speed of hardware engines.
-evp algo
Use the specified cipher or message digest algorithm via the EVP interface. If algo is an AEAD cipher, then you can pass <-aead> to
benchmark a TLS-like sequence. And if algo is a multi-buffer capable cipher, e.g. aes-128-cbc-hmac-sha1, then -mb will time multi-
buffer operation.
-decrypt
Time the decryption instead of encryption. Affects only the EVP testing.
-rand file...
A file or files containing random data used to seed the random number generator. Multiple files can be specified separated by an OS-
dependent character. The separator is ; for MS-Windows, , for OpenVMS, and : for all others.
[-writerand file]
Writes random data to the specified file upon exit. This can be used with a subsequent -rand flag.
-primes num
Generate a num-prime RSA key and use it to run the benchmarks. This option is only effective if RSA algorithm is specified to test.
-seconds num
Run benchmarks for num seconds.
-bytes num
Run benchmarks on num-byte buffers. Affects ciphers, digests and the CSPRNG.
[zero or more test algorithms]
If any options are given, speed tests those algorithms, otherwise a pre-compiled grand selection is tested.
