ParaView

This test runs ParaView benchmarks: an open-source data analytics and visualization application. Paraview describes itself as "an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques."

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

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

ParaView 5.13

Test: Wavelet Contour - Frames: 600 - Resolution: 1920 x 1080

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 50 public results since 7 September 2024 with the latest data as of 8 February 2025.

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.

Detailed Performance Overview

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (ParaView 5.13 - Test: Wavelet Contour - Frames: 600 - Resolution: 1920 x 1080) 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.
