Radiance Benchmark

This is a benchmark of NREL Radiance, a synthetic imaging system that is open-source and developed by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California.


Radiance Benchmark 5.0

Test: Serial

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 2,120 public results since 24 June 2018 with the latest data as of 16 December 2024.

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.
