IPerf2
A network traffic tool for measuring TCP and UDP performance with metrics around both throughput and latency. The goals also include maintaining an active iperf 2 code base across a broad set of platforms and operating systems. This is a multi-threaded design hoped to scale with the number of CPUs or cores within a system. Note: iperf 2 and iperf 3 do not interoperate. ***Early field testing (EFT) phase for iperf 2.0.14 is going on NOW!!!*** You can help test iperf 2.0.14 and report some bugs. Earn a shirt as seen in the screen shots. NOTE: PLEASE CONTACT YOUR HOSTING PROVIDER AND TELL THEM YOU WANT YOUR CLOCKS SYNCHRONIZED TO THE GPS ATOMIC CLOCKS!! Iperf 2’s latency features require machine level synchronization. A good article on clocks “The average crystal ends up being about as accurate as a mechanical watch” : https://tinyurl.com/y3jbwgmy iperf 2 for android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/detail

nmon for Linux
nmon is short for Nigel’s Performance Monitor. It either shows you the stats on-screen, updating once a second or saves the data to a CSV file for later analysis and graphing. For details see the homepage ==> http://nmon.sourceforge.net Please use the latest version. The new version “njmon” outputs JSON format that a lot of tools use these days.

Jmol
Over 10,000,000 page views! Jmol/JSmol is a molecular viewer for 3D chemical structures that runs in four independent modes: an HTML5-only web application utilizing jQuery, a Java applet, a stand-alone Java program (Jmol.jar), and a “headless” server-side component (JmolData.jar). Jmol can read many file types, including PDB, CIF, SDF, MOL, PyMOL PSE files, and Spartan files, as well as output from Gaussian, GAMESS, MOPAC, VASP, CRYSTAL, CASTEP, QuantumEspresso, VMD, and many other quantum chemistry programs. Files can be transferred directly from several databases, including RCSB, EDS, NCI, PubChem, and MaterialsProject. Multiple files can be loaded and compared. A rich scripting language and a well-developed web API allow easy customization of the user interface. Features include interactive animation and linear morphing. Jmol interfaces well with JSpecView for spectroscopy, JSME for 2D->3D conversion, POV-Ray for images, and CAD programs for 3D printing (VRML export).
