Apache Hadoop using a built-in benchmark. The test itself has multiple configurations, picked one slightly smaller one with operations for open, create, delete, rename and file status. These are done with 50 threads and 100,000 files. These seem to be spiky in terms of how much on-core is used.

All the operations appear to have similar profiles.

AMD profile shows on average only one core. There is a reasonable branch misprediction ratio and higher icache misses contributing to front end stalls.
