OpenSSL

OpenSSL is an open-source toolkit that implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocols. The system/openssl test profiles relies on benchmarking the system/OS-supplied openssl binary rather than the pts/openssl test profile that uses the locally-built OpenSSL for benchmarking. This test will also attempt to utilize the QATengine plug-in on platforms where supported/available.

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

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

OpenSSL

Algorithm: SHA256

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 201 public results since 21 November 2023 with the latest data as of 2 October 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.
