Abstract: Example methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture to benchmark hardware and software are disclosed. A disclosed example method includes initiating a first thread to execute a set of instructions on a processor, initiating a second thread to execute the set of instructions on the processor, determining a first duration for the execution of the first thread, determining a second duration for the execution of the second thread, and determining a thread fairness value for the computer system based on the first duration and the second duration.
