Interbench is an interactivity benchmark written by Con Kolivas. Interbench is primarily intended to test out the system kernel and its CPU scheduler while running a simulated test with a given simulated load in the background. Each benchmark / load is run for 60 seconds per test.
To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark interbench.
Use with caution this test profile is currently marked Deprecated.
* 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 23 December 2024.

Performance Metrics
Analyze Test Configuration:
Interbench 0.31
Benchmark: Gaming - Background Load: Read
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 44 public results since 22 May 2012 with the latest data as of 10 April 2023.
Additional benchmark metrics will come after OpenBenchmarking.org has collected a sufficient data-set.
Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Interbench 0.31 - Benchmark: Gaming - Background Load: Read) has an average run-time of 16 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 8.9%.
