Performance Metrics
Analyze Test Configuration:Unpacking The Linux Kernel
linux-4.15.tar.xz
OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 1,982 public results since 7 February 2018 with the latest data as of 7 April 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 (Unpacking The Linux Kernel - linux-4.15.tar.xz) has an average run-time of 2 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 4 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 4.2%.
