Fast Elixir is a curated collection of performance-focused best practices, idioms, and code snippets for writing efficient Elixir programs. The project documents common patterns in Elixir and compares their relative performance using benchmarks to guide developers toward faster and more memory-friendly code. By showcasing side-by-side examples, it highlights not only which approaches are faster but also why certain functions or techniques should be preferred in different scenarios. The repository is designed as a practical reference for developers who want to optimize Elixir applications without diving into premature micro-optimizations. Its goal is not just speed but also clarity, ensuring that performance improvements do not come at the cost of readability and maintainability. With continuously updated examples, Fast Elixir helps both beginners and experienced Elixir programmers adopt better habits and avoid slow patterns.

Plow is an HTTP(S) benchmarking tool, written in Golang. It uses excellent fast HTTP instead of Go's default net/http due to its lightning-fast performance. Plow runs at specified connections (option -c) concurrently and real-time records summary statistics, histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles to display on Web UI and terminal. It can run for a set duration( option -d), for a fixed number of requests(option -n), or until Ctrl-C is interrupted. The implementation of real-time computing Histograms and Quantiles using stream-based algorithms inspired by Prometheus with low memory and CPU bounds. so it's almost no additional performance overhead for benchmarking.

HardInfo displays information about your hardware and operating system.

New owners (Oracle), new rules: Vdbench has been moved to Oracle Technology Network (OTN) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vdbench-downloads-1901681.html

powerMAX is a CPU and GPU burn-in tool designed to push your hardware to its absolute thermal and power limits. It helps users uncover stability issues, cooling weaknesses, and power delivery problems by applying maximum, sustained stress to both the processor and graphics card. The utility supports dedicated CPU tests—SSE or AVX—and a demanding GPU 3D rendering test, with the option to run both simultaneously for full-system power load evaluation. Because it does not generate scores or benchmarks, powerMAX is strictly a stress-testing tool rather than a performance comparison utility. The software requires no installation, leaves no system traces, and runs on any Windows system from Windows 7 onward. Users must operate powerMAX at their own risk, as the extreme loads can expose component flaws and potentially cause irreversible hardware damage.

netstress is a client/server utility designed to stress & benchmark network activity of a given ethernet device or path using simulated (random) real world data and packet sizes instead of fixed data and packet sizes.

File Read Test is a tool that reads disk files or directories and stops on the first read error. A second tool, Quick Disk Test, fills a disk with test data and verifies that it can be read back without errors.

Utility for testing CD/DVD quality and transfer rate written on C++ and Qt

Distributed session caching tools and APIs, primarily for SSL/TLS servers though perhaps useful for other (non-SSL/TLS) circumstances. Also includes a self-contained network abstraction library (libnal), and the sslswamp SSL/TLS benchmark/test utility.

Master/node to gather and graph "everything" on your systems using Tobi Oetiker's rrdtool. It can optionally warn your surveillance software. This software package was originally called LRRD. The project. Please see http://munin-monitoring.org/

VDT - Visual Disk Test : performs I/O tests on files, partitions, and/or disks with visual feedback/follow-up, offering flexible test area selection by size, location, percent, or combinations thereof, plus test duration control by time or size.

Tiny program written in Java, which provides OS - independent and clean algorithm to measure your mouse rate (mouse latency). Java 7u5 or higher needed to run version 1.1 and lower. Java 7u40 or higher needed to run version 1.2 and higher. **Version 1.3 changes - Fixed graphic artefacts appearing while program window is dragged. **Version 1.2 changes - Major code review & cleanup - Mouse watching algorithm optimized - Duplicate cursor statistics calculations removed & rewritten - Automatic focus regain removed - Redundant .exe removed, now there is one jar for every java-supported OS.

The fs_mark benchmark tests synchronous write workloads. It can vary the number of files, directory depth, etc. It has detailed timings for reads, writes, unlinks and fsyncs that make it good for simulating mail servers and other setups.

WebInject is a tool for automated testing of web applications and web services. It can be used to test system components with HTTP interfaces, as a test harness to create a suite of functional and regression tests, or for service-level monitoring.
