Timed Linux Kernel Compilation

This test times how long it takes to build the Linux kernel in a default configuration.


Timed Linux Kernel Compilation 6.8

Build: defconfig

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 2,375 public results since 13 March 2024 with the latest data as of 19 January 2025.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
