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 4,879 public results since 6 December 2010 with the latest data as of 14 April 2021.
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 7 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.
