+SysBench is a modular, cross-platform and multi-threaded benchmark tool
+for evaluating OS parameters that are important for a system running a
+database under intensive load.
+
+The idea of this benchmark suite is to quickly get an impression about
+system performance without setting up complex database benchmarks or
+even without installing a database at all.
+
+Current features allow to test the following system parameters:
+
+ * file I/O performance
+ * scheduler performance
+ * memory allocation and transfer speed
+ * POSIX threads implementation performance
+ * database server performance (OLTP benchmark)
+
+Primarily written for MySQL server benchmarking, SysBench will be
+further extended to support multiple database backends, distributed
+benchmarks and third-party plug-in modules.
