Linux 4.14-rc1 vs. Linux 4.13 Kernel Benchmarks

Flexible IO Tester

FS-Mark

FS_Mark is designed to test a system's file-system performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

BlogBench

Dbench

Dbench is a benchmark designed by the Samba project as a free alternative to netbench, but dbench contains only file-system calls for testing the disk performance. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Compile Bench

Compilebench tries to age a filesystem by simulating some of the disk IO common in creating, compiling, patching, stating and reading kernel trees. It indirectly measures how well filesystems can maintain directory locality as the disk fills up and directories age. This current test is setup to use the makej mode with 10 initial directories Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

RAMspeed SMP

NAS Parallel Benchmarks

NPB, NAS Parallel Benchmarks, is a benchmark developed by NASA for high-end computer systems. This test profile currently uses the MPI version of NPB. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

HPC Challenge

Parboil

The Parboil Benchmarks from the IMPACT Research Group at University of Illinois are a set of throughput computing applications for looking at computing architecture and compilers. Parboil test-cases support OpenMP, OpenCL, and CUDA multi-processing environments. However, at this time the test profile is just making use of the OpenMP and OpenCL test workloads. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Rodinia

Rodinia is a suite focused upon accelerating compute-intensive applications with accelerators. CUDA, OpenMP, and OpenCL parallel models are supported by the included applications. This profile utilizes the OpenCL and OpenMP test binaries at the moment. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

CLOMP

CLOMP is the C version of the Livermore OpenMP benchmark developed to measure OpenMP overheads and other performance impacts due to threading in order to influence future system designs. This particular test profile configuration is currently set to look at the OpenMP static schedule speed-up across all available CPU cores using the recommended test configuration. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

lzbench

lzbench is an in-memory benchmark of various compressors. The file used for compression is a Linux kernel source tree tarball. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator

LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics code, and an acronym for Large-scale Atomic/Molecular Massively Parallel Simulator. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

FFTW

FFTW is a C subroutine library for computing the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) in one or more dimensions. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Timed HMMer Search

This test searches through the Pfam database of profile hidden markov models. The search finds the domain structure of Drosophila Sevenless protein. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Timed MrBayes Analysis

SciMark

John The Ripper

This is a benchmark of John The Ripper, which is a password cracker. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

TTSIOD 3D Renderer

A portable GPL 3D software renderer that supports OpenMP and Intel Threading Building Blocks with many different rendering modes. This version does not use OpenGL but is entirely CPU/software based. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Himeno Benchmark

The Himeno benchmark is a linear solver of pressure Poisson using a point-Jacobi method. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

ebizzy

This is a test of ebizzy, a program to generate workloads resembling web server workloads. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Timed LLVM Compilation

C-Ray

This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Parallel BZIP2 Compression

This test measures the time needed to compress a file (a .tar package of the Linux kernel source code) using BZIP2 compression. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

FLAC Audio Encoding

This test times how long it takes to encode a sample WAV file to FLAC format three times. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

LAME MP3 Encoding

FFmpeg

R Benchmark

This test is a quick-running survey of general R performance Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

OpenSSL

OpenSSL is an open-source toolkit that implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. This test measures the RSA 4096-bit performance of OpenSSL. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

glibc bench

The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
