Benchmarking and stress testing software for Linux (lemmy.world)

I'm creating own Linux distro specifically for testing hardware. Currently i included some benchmarks, but is hard to find these good ones, every search results in software from 199x. Could you please give me some suggestions? I know these:

  • Phoronix Test Suite (please tell me which benchmarks are you using)
  • 7zip > working good
  • y-cruncher > working good
  • Basemark - have seen a lot of crashes on different devices not related to hardware issues
  • Geeks3D GPU Test (window content freezes but fps and frame times are still showing happens on every device just matter of time)
  • Unigine family benchmarks (Heaven not working on some devices, Superposition is too big in size)
  • KDisk Mark

Searching mainly for GPU benchmarks/stress testing software, working on Vulkan is a big addition too. Thanks for answers!

For stress testing, stress-ng might be worth considering.

There's mprime/gimps which is a bit older, but works well enough for CPU/RAM stress testing.

Superposition is too big in size

Blender can be benchmarked, although I'm not sure if you can benchmark the quite recent Vulkan renderer.

There's also vkmark although it looks pretty simple (at least the 2017 version in nixpkgs).

s-tui can be used to stress stest the cpu and monitor cores and core temps

For a system level stress that hits cpu and memory hard, get the kernel, unpack, then

while make mrproper && make defconfig && make -j vmlinux && make -j modules; do date >> last_build.log; done
