RAMSpeed cache and memory benchmarking tool


RAMspeed is a free open source command line utility to measure cache and memory performance of computer systems. For more information on the algorithm and other information, do read the RAMSpeed site.

RAMspeed is more accurate than many other benchmarking tools, more customisable, open source, compact, and gives you much more information to analyse. Some people may say that the lack of some graphical interface is a large drawback, but it may be considered as an advantage as well.
