Cluster Benchmarking Packages

Here are some links to benchmarks:

Benchmark Suites

HPCC Challange Benchmark - uses seven tests to measure several different performance parameters.
Beowulf Perforamnce Suite (BPS) - Example results are here.
Cluster Monkey Benchmark Project - just started. It is based on the BPS.
Intel MPI Benchmarks - freely available.
perfbase - a set of front end tools using a PostgreSQL database as backend, which together form a system for the management and analysis of the output of tests and experiments.
SKaMPI - a suite of tests designed to measure the performance of MPI.
