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

Performance Metrics
Analyze Test Configuration:Dbench 4.0
12 Clients
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 4,994 public results since 26 February 2011 with the latest data as of 2 October 2022.
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 (Dbench 4.0 - 12 Clients) has an average run-time of 49 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.
Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 1.6%.
Notable Instruction Set Usage
Notable instruction set extensions supported by this test, based on an automatic analysis by the Phoronix Test Suite / OpenBenchmarking.org analytics engine.
Found on Intel processors since Haswell (2013).
Found on AMD processors since Bulldozer (2011).
This test profile binary relies on the shared libraries libpopt.so.0, libc.so.6.
