Parallel BZIP2 Compression

This test measures the time needed to compress a file (FreeBSD-13.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img) using Parallel BZIP2 compression.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark compress-pbzip2.

Revision History

pts/compress-pbzip2-1.6.0   [View Source]   Sat, 12 Feb 2022 07:57:00 GMT
Update against latest point release and increase the file size for more intensity on modern CPUs... Not that this test is popular but the prior download mirrors were down.

pts/compress-pbzip2-1.5.0   [View Source]   Mon, 14 Dec 2015 11:00:38 GMT
Update against pbzip 1.1.12, switch to using Linux 4.3 kernel source package as compression source.

pts/compress-pbzip2-1.4.1   [View Source]   Thu, 08 Oct 2015 16:55:25 GMT
Update download links.

pts/compress-pbzip2-1.4.0   [View Source]   Wed, 03 Oct 2012 23:05:54 GMT
Update BZIP2 against upstream 1.0.6 and update PBZIP2 against upstream 1.1.6 source.

Does It Scale Well With Increasing Cores?

Yes, based on the automated analysis of the collected public benchmark data, this test / test settings does generally scale well with increasing CPU core counts. Data based on publicly available results for this test / test settings, separated by vendor, result divided by the reference CPU clock speed, grouped by matching physical CPU core count, and normalized against the smallest core count tested from each vendor for each CPU having a sufficient number of test samples and statistically significant data.
