Does anyone knows about performance benchmark test suite?

[crasher]

I need test a windows driver with system being heavlily loaded.
what the driver does is to frequently access I/O ports and copy memory data.
Does any one know about any benchmark utilities to heavily load system with cpu, IO access, and memory read/write?

Hi,

I haven't done hardware benchmarking for a long time, but the benchmarks I used are still around: 3dMark and Sisoft Sandra. IIRC the latter has some fairly heavy disk access tests which can be set up. Of course, if you just want to place load on the hard disks, write a program / script file which just creates and/or copies huge files.

Oh - I've just noticed that as well as 3DMark, there's PCMark which is more of a general benchmarking tool.

Cheers,
Adam

Most of the benchmarking tools I know are unix-only - SpecCPU2000 is the one that we use here at work.
