AmorphousDiskMark and AmorphousMemoryMark are now open-source
AmorphousDiskMark and AmorphousMemoryMark, the standard macOS tools for storage and memory benchmarking, have been open-sourced under the MIT license. AmorphousDiskMark measures sequential and random read/write speeds in MB/s and IOPS with configurable block sizes and queue depths, mirroring CrystalDiskMark’s methodology adapted for macOS. AmorphousMemoryMark benchmarks memory throughput in GB/s across multiple methods including memmove, rep movsb/stosb, temporal, and non-temporal stores.
The developer has published the full Objective-C source on GitHub, which is great for long-term preservation. These tools have become a common reference point for Mac storage benchmarks across reviews and comparisons, and open-sourcing them ensures that continuity going forward.
