Benchmark Workloads
Spare Cores runs standardized benchmark workloads across cloud servers to measure performance and cost efficiency. This page describes each benchmark family and workload, including units of measurement, configuration options, and score distributions.

1 workloadapp
Static web server
Serving smaller (1-65 kb) and larger (256-512 kb) files using a static HTTP server (binserve), and benchmarking each workload (wrk) using variable number of threads and connections on the same server.

BogoMips
A crude measurement of CPU speed by the Linux kernel. This is NOT usable for performance comparisons among different CPUs, but might be useful to check if a processor is in the range of similar processors. As often quoted, BogoMips measures "the number of million times per second a processor can do absolutely nothing".
