Numenta Anomaly Benchmark

Numenta Anomaly Benchmark (NAB) is a benchmark for evaluating algorithms for anomaly detection in streaming, real-time applications. It is comprised of over 50 labeled real-world and artificial time-series data files plus a novel scoring mechanism designed for real-time applications. This test profile currently measures the time to run various detectors.

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

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Numenta Anomaly Benchmark 1.1

Detector: Earthgecko Skyline

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 724 public results since 28 February 2020 with the latest data as of 23 March 2024.

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.

Does It Scale Well With Increasing Cores?

Yes, based on the automated analysis of the collected public benchmark data, this test / test settings does generally scale well with increasing CPU core counts. Data based on publicly available results for this test / test settings, separated by vendor, result divided by the reference CPU clock speed, grouped by matching physical CPU core count, and normalized against the smallest core count tested from each vendor for each CPU having a sufficient number of test samples and statistically significant data.
