Dbench

Dbench is a benchmark designed by the Samba project as a free alternative to netbench, but dbench contains only file-system calls for testing the disk performance.

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

Performance Metrics

Dbench 4.0

Client Count: 1

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 55 public results since 12 September 2017 with the latest data as of 27 July 2023.

Additional benchmark metrics will come after OpenBenchmarking.org has collected a sufficient data-set.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Dbench 4.0 - Client Count: 1) has an average run-time of 57 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 3.5%.
