Accurately estimate performance of currently available processors is becoming a key activity, particularly in HENP environment, where high computing power is crucial. This document describes the methods and programs, opensource or freeware, used to benchmark processors, memory and disk subsystems and network connection architectures. These tools are also useful to stress test new machines, before their acquisition or before their introduction in a production environment, where high uptimes are requested.
