NPB, NAS Parallel Benchmarks, is a benchmark developed by NASA for high-end computer systems. This test profile currently uses the OpenMP version of NPB.
To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark npb.

Revision History
pts/npb-1.4.1 [View Source] Sat, 07 Mar 2020 12:22:08 GMT Add --alow-run-as-root, ended up being missed until now.
pts/npb-1.4.0 [View Source] Wed, 28 Aug 2019 11:43:04 GMT Update against upstream NPB 3.4, add new test cases.
pts/npb-1.3.1 [View Source] Tue, 15 Jan 2019 11:37:52 GMT Update against upstream NPB 3.1.1
pts/npb-1.3.0 [View Source] Fri, 09 Nov 2018 12:39:01 GMT Use physical core count rather than logical cores to avoid MPI breaking on high core count systems with SMT.
pts/npb-1.2.1 [View Source] Thu, 27 Nov 2014 18:42:33 GMT MG.B and IS.D do not build / run properly on modern systems.
pts/npb-1.2.0 [View Source] Tue, 05 Nov 2013 22:57:21 GMT Working on new version of NPB test that makes use of some of the HPCC test profile MPI improvements and other multi-core/cluster work for better benchmarking. Seems to have MPI rank errors right now though for NPB on this build.
pts/npb-1.1.1 [View Source] Sun, 10 Jun 2012 19:11:43 GMT Remove tests not in MPI NPB version.
pts/npb-1.1.0 [View Source] Sun, 10 Jun 2012 16:56:25 GMT Switch to the MPI version of NPB benchmarks.
pts/npb-1.0.0 [View Source] Mon, 06 Dec 2010 15:00:08 GMT Initial import into OpenBenchmarking.org
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 657 public results since 28 August 2019 with the latest data as of 12 January 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 (NAS Parallel Benchmarks 3.4 - Test / Class: SP.B) has an average run-time of 3 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 0.4%.
