Servers, Desktops and VMs. August 2018 Comparison.

OSBench

OSBench is a collection of micro-benchmarks for measuring operating system primitives like time to create threads/processes, launching programs, creating files, and memory allocation. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Git

This test measures the time needed to carry out some sample Git operations on an example, static repository that happens to be a copy of the GNOME GTK tool-kit repository. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

PHPBench

PHPBench is a benchmark suite for PHP. It performs a large number of simple tests in order to bench various aspects of the PHP interpreter. PHPBench can be used to compare hardware, operating systems, PHP versions, PHP accelerators and caches, compiler options, etc. The number of iterations used is 1,000,000. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Apache Benchmark

This is a test of ab, which is the Apache benchmark program. This test profile measures how many requests per second a given system can sustain when carrying out 1,000,000 requests with 100 requests being carried out concurrently. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

PyBench

This test profile reports the total time of the different average timed test results from PyBench. PyBench reports average test times for different functions such as BuiltinFunctionCalls and NestedForLoops, with this total result providing a rough estimate as to Python's average performance on a given system. This test profile runs PyBench each time for 20 rounds. 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.

LAME MP3 Encoding

LAME is an MP3 encoder licensed under the LGPL. This test measures the time required to encode a WAV file to MP3 format. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

LZMA Compression

This test measures the time needed to compress a file using LZMA compression. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Gzip Compression

This test measures the time needed to archive/compress two copies of the Linux 4.13 kernel source tree using Gzip compression. 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.

Timed MPlayer Compilation

This test times how long it takes to build the MPlayer media player program. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Timed Linux Kernel Compilation

This test times how long it takes to build the Linux kernel in a default configuration. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

7-Zip Compression

This is a test of 7-Zip using p7zip with its integrated benchmark feature or upstream 7-Zip for the Windows x64 build. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

x265

This is a simple test of the x265 encoder run on the CPU with a sample video file. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

x264

This is a simple test of the x264 encoder run on the CPU (OpenCL support disabled) with a sample video file. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

VP9 libvpx Encoding

This is a standard video encoding performance test of Google's libvpx library and the vpxenc command for the VP9/WebM format. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

Bork File Encrypter

Bork is a small, cross-platform file encryption utility. It is written in Java and designed to be included along with the files it encrypts for long-term storage. This test measures the amount of time it takes to encrypt a sample file. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.

RAMspeed SMP

Unpacking The Linux Kernel

This test measures how long it takes to extract the .tar.xz Linux kernel package. 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.

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.

SQLite

This is a simple benchmark of SQLite. At present this test profile just measures the time to perform a pre-defined number of insertions on an indexed database. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
