Sysbench
In computing, sysbench is an open-source software tool. Specifically, it is a scriptable multi-threaded benchmarking tool designed for Linux systems. It is a C binary and uses LuaJIT scripts to execute benchmarks. It is most frequently used for database benchmarks, for example MySQL, but can also be used to create arbitrarily complex workloads that do not involve a database server for general testing. It is a multi-purpose benchmark that features tests for CPU, memory, I/O, and database performance testing. It is a basic command line utility that offers a direct way to benchmark computer hardware. It now comes packaged in most major Linux distribution repositories such as Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS and Arch Linux.
