Introduction

Since this is an overclocking and benchmarking website, I thought it would be fitting to point out that Linux can be just as useful for benchmarking and stress testing as Windows is. I'm going to start this out merely as a link farm to various Linux applications, but in time, I can see this becoming a full-on HOWTO. I definitely encourage other members to give input, as I can always use all the help I can.Live CD
stresslinux - stresslinux is a minimal linux distribution running from a bootable cdrom, usb drive, or via PXEMonitoring
lm sensors - monitor fans, voltages, and tempsBenchmark Suites
hddtemp - monitor hdd temps
smartmontools - monitor hdd's using the SMART system built into the hard drive
PTS - the phoronix test suite is the most comprehensive testing and benchmarking platform available for linux (added aug 9, 2008 my melcar)
freebench - free memory, integer, and floating point benchmarkCPU tests
lmbench - portable benchmark suite
ltp - the Linux Test Project benchmark suite
nbench - BYTE Magazine's BYTEmark tests memory, integer, and floating point performance
xfbsuite - benchmark suite for X
Kernel compileMemory TestsYou can benchmark your system by simply timing you kernel compile. As long as you use the same config file, this will give you a pretty good idea of how you're computer is scaling as you overclock. It will also give you an idea of stability because an unstable system will cause compilation errors. You will need to keep your own log of compile times for reference. This can be used to compare separate systems as long as the same architecture and config file are used. To time your source compile, simply enter the kernel source directory (i.e. /usr/src/linux/) and type:CPUBurn - stress the cpu
Code:
# time make
when it is done, it will display the overall time it took to complete, which you can then throw in to a text document or spreadsheet to graph, if you'd like.
gamut - loopable benchmark app (formerly Sstress)
Mersenne Prime (GIMPS) - Includes a stress test which is identical to it's Windows counterpart
super pi - calculates pi, same as it's windows counterpart
stress - places a configurable load on different parts of the system: CPU, memory, I/O, and disk stress
Prime95 - stress testing on the CPU and RAM
PerlMon - CPU-Z like program for Linux
Memtest86+ - can be added to your LILO or GRUB boot menu, so you do not need to have a floppy diskGraphics Tests
SPECviewperf 9 (32bit and 64bit)Filesystem I/O
Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 - You can use fly-by's and botmatches to benchmark
Doom3 - you can use timedemo's to benchmarkStart Doom3
Hit control+alt+`
type in timedemo demo1
