Timed Linux Kernel Compilation
This test times how long it takes to build the Linux kernel.
Learn more about this test at the upstream project site: kernel.org.
This utility test is maintained by Michael Larabel. This OpenBenchmarking.org test profile was created on 6 December 2010 and last updated on 23 June 2020. To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark build-linux-kernel.
This test has an average install time of 1 second and an average run-time of 34 minutes, 19 seconds.
Performance Metrics
Analyze Test Configuration: Timed Linux Kernel Compilation 5.4
Time To Compile
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 2,538 public samples since 13 October 2019 with the latest data as of 18 September 2020.
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.
