OSBench Benchmark - OpenBenchmarking.org

OSBench is a collection of micro-benchmarks for measuring operating system primitives like time to create threads/processes, launching programs, creating files, and memory allocation.

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

* 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 30 November 2023.

Performance Metrics

OSBench

Test: Create Files

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 2,130 public results since 22 March 2018 with the latest data as of 6 November 2023.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (OSBench - Test: Create Files) has an average run-time of 5 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%.
