wrk
Modern HTTP benchmarking tool
wrk is a modern, command-line HTTP benchmarking tool engineered for high performance, capable of generating substantial load using a single multi-core CPU by leveraging multithreading and scalable event notification systems. An optional LuaJIT script can perform HTTP request generation, response processing, and custom reporting. Details are available in SCRIPTING and several examples are located in scripts. The machine running wrk must have a sufficient number of ephemeral ports available and closed sockets should be recycled quickly. To handle the initial connection burst the server's listen(2) backlog should be greater than the number of concurrent connections being tested. -

plow
A high-performance HTTP benchmarking tool
Plow is an HTTP(S) benchmarking tool, written in Golang. It uses excellent fast HTTP instead of Go's default net/http due to its lightning-fast performance. Plow runs at specified connections (option -c) concurrently and real-time records summary statistics, histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles to display on Web UI and terminal. It can run for a set duration( option -d), for a fixed number of requests(option -n), or until Ctrl-C is interrupted. The implementation of real-time computing Histograms and Quantiles using stream-based algorithms inspired by Prometheus with low memory and CPU bounds. so it's almost no additional performance overhead for benchmarking. -

BatteryCat
Battery monitoring and health tool.
Having been a Mac OSX user now for some years I appreciate the simplicity of CoconutBattery (http://www.coconut-flavour.com/), which shows you all relevant information of the battery of your laptop (iBook, PowerBook, MacBook, ...) and has one outstanding feature: you can save the current health state of the laptop's battery and thus monitor the long term development (degradation) of the battery. Since I have to work in Windows at work :-( I was looking for a similar tool in the MS world. You can find a number of battery monitoring programs for MS Windows, which give you a plethora of (useless) information - or do not work at all. Finally I decided to make one of my own (the world waited for that so badly!). And here it is. Since I did not want to restrict it to Windows only I made it a GTK application, which is cross platform portable. I created the low level data gathering functions for both Windows and Linux. You are very welcome to add additional ports (e.g. BSD or whatever). -

powerMAX
powerMAX is a CPU and GPU burn-in test
powerMAX is a CPU and GPU burn-in tool designed to push your hardware to its absolute thermal and power limits. It helps users uncover stability issues, cooling weaknesses, and power delivery problems by applying maximum, sustained stress to both the processor and graphics card. The utility supports dedicated CPU tests—SSE or AVX—and a demanding GPU 3D rendering test, with the option to run both simultaneously for full-system power load evaluation. Because it does not generate scores or benchmarks, powerMAX is strictly a stress-testing tool rather than a performance comparison utility. The software requires no installation, leaves no system traces, and runs on any Windows system from Windows 7 onward. Users must operate powerMAX at their own risk, as the extreme loads can expose component flaws and potentially cause irreversible hardware damage. -

Fast Elixir
Writing Fast Elixir. Collect Common Elixir idioms
Fast Elixir is a curated collection of performance-focused best practices, idioms, and code snippets for writing efficient Elixir programs. The project documents common patterns in Elixir and compares their relative performance using benchmarks to guide developers toward faster and more memory-friendly code. By showcasing side-by-side examples, it highlights not only which approaches are faster but also why certain functions or techniques should be preferred in different scenarios. The repository is designed as a practical reference for developers who want to optimize Elixir applications without diving into premature micro-optimizations. Its goal is not just speed but also clarity, ensuring that performance improvements do not come at the cost of readability and maintainability. With continuously updated examples, Fast Elixir helps both beginners and experienced Elixir programmers adopt better habits and avoid slow patterns.
