FurMark is an intensive benchmarking tool designed to evaluate the performance of graphics cards using fur rendering algorithms. This tool is particularly effective in generating high workloads that can significantly increase the temperature of the GPU, making it a useful utility for testing the stability and stress tolerance of graphics cards. By simulating demanding rendering tasks, FurMark serves as a comprehensive test for assessing the robustness and thermal performance of GPUs under extreme conditions. FurMark from Geeks3D is a free OpenGL benchmark tool for Windows that can also be used to check the stability of a graphics card thanks to a built-in stress test. FurMark rendering is designed to overheat the GPU making it a viral-like stability and stress test tool (also called GPU burner) for the graphics card.

UNMAINTAINED: Try https://github.com/pjoe/loadem instead This project aims to provide a tool for load testing web applications. The goal is a tool that is easy to use and provides near real-time performance measurements of the application under test which is very usefull during optimization.

AdaptiveCells J2EE generates test-beds for benchmarking J2EE performance. They consists of highly customizable EJB cells that can emulate CPU load, memory usage, memory leaks and exceptions. The behaviour of the cells is coordinated from a web front-end.

COMPAS J2EE is a non-intrusive performance instrumentation and monitoring toolkit for J2EE. It uses adaptive monitoring to automatically adjust the target coverage. COMPAS is completely portable across J2EE application servers and OSs.

Cbench is intended as a relatively straightforward toolbox of tests, benchmarks, applications, utilities, and framework to hold them together with the goal to facilitate scalable testing, benchmarking, and analysis of a Linux parallel compute cluster.

Charge is an LDAP load testing program. It can be easily modified to test other protocols.

Corredor is a robust general framework for performing software test automation. The suite aims to simplify the set up, maintenance, and running of tasks, supporting remote distribution, parallel execution, & dependancy hierarchies.

Death Star is a 'multi-protocol stress testing' tool. Initially forked from LOIQ v0.3a, Death Star seeks to surpass LOIC and LOIQ in terms of performance, OS support and win.

http://jmsloadtester.marcel-sauer.de JMS Load Tester is a small command line based Java (>1.5) application to load test JMS brokers like SonicMQ, ActiveMQ, OpenJMS and others. It can be configured with a property file.
