lmbench is a micro-benchmark suite designed to focus attention
on the basic building blocks of many common system applications,
such as databases, simulations, software development, and
networking. In almost all cases, the individual tests are
the result of analysis and isolation of a customer's actual
performance problem. These tools can be, and currently are,
used to compare different system implementations from different
vendors. The tools have been and continue to be used by processor
designers. In several cases, the benchmarks have uncovered
previously unknown bugs and design flaws. lmbench includes an
extensible database of results from systems current as of late 1995.
