The GNU C Library project provides the core libraries for the GNU system and GNU/Linux systems, as well as many other systems that use Linux as the kernel. These libraries provide critical APIs including ISO C11, POSIX.1-2008, BSD, OS-specific APIs and more. This test profile makes use of Glibc's "benchtests" integrated benchmark suite.
To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark glibc-bench.
* Uploading of benchmark result data to OpenBenchmarking.org is always optional (opt-in) via the Phoronix Test Suite for users wishing to share their results publicly. ** Data based on those opting to upload their test results to OpenBenchmarking.org and users enabling the opt-in anonymous statistics reporting while running benchmarks from an Internet-connected platform. *** Test profile page view reporting began March 2021. Data updated weekly as of 25 March 2024.
Revision History
pts/glibc-bench-1.8.0 [View Source] Fri, 17 Mar 2023 13:18:42 GMT Update against Glibc 2.37 for build fixes on newer distros.

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 741 public results since 31 July 2019 with the latest data as of 23 October 2023.
Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (glibc bench 1.0 - Benchmark: exp) has an average run-time of 2 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 0.7%.
