Revision History

pts/apache-siege-1.1.0 [View Source] Fri, 26 Jul 2024 20:43:54 GMT
Update against latest download links / dependencies. Closes: https://github.com/phoronix-test-suite/phoronix-test-suite/issues/797 as the other Apache test profiles had already moved past APR 1.6.1 version...

pts/apache-siege-1.0.5 [View Source] Fri, 11 Dec 2020 11:05:10 GMT
BSD build fix via https://github.com/apurvanandan1997/pts-test-profiles-dev/commit/00997d16bb4fe34cbd717e8d98d2e39ad54e795d#diff-143fbe9705f52c93bb44c2f83720d9648349060057dcfa046f91f3d04b6df6ab

pts/apache-siege-1.0.4 [View Source] Fri, 31 May 2019 18:17:44 GMT
Specify log file argument to log in current directory, avoid situation like https://github.com/phoronix-test-suite/test-profiles/issues/77

pts/apache-siege-1.0.3 [View Source] Fri, 31 May 2019 18:09:47 GMT
Add expat as possible external dependency - https://github.com/phoronix-test-suite/test-profiles/issues/82

pts/apache-siege-1.0.2 [View Source] Sun, 29 Jul 2018 18:57:33 GMT
Don't spew so much unneeded information to the log file as was getting 100MB+ logs with intensive tests.

pts/apache-siege-1.0.1 [View Source] Sun, 29 Jul 2018 18:08:19 GMT
Ensure siege.config is generated.

pts/apache-siege-1.0.0 [View Source] Sun, 29 Jul 2018 17:22:54 GMT
Add an additional Apache HTTPD benchmark profile, this one allows multi-threaded testing using Siege.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Apache Siege 2.4.62

Concurrent Users: 500

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 136 public results since 27 July 2024 with the latest data as of 16 August 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.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Apache Siege 2.4.62 - Concurrent Users: 500) has an average run-time of 11 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
