power and performance testing

[fai amd <faiamd64@yahoo.com>]

hi,

i am supposed to be doing a benchmark testing of 3 different system
configurations of amd64/xeon emt64 systems. the benchmarks should
include power consumptions at various loads of cpu/disks/memory usage. 

i am was thinking of using bonnie, iozone, cpubench, lapack etc and
measure the power consumption using a power strip.

it would be great if members could suggest some better ideas or other
benchmarks that are there to test the performance and power consumption
of systems. which would give better statistics.

thanks
john.
