GpuOwl

GpuOwl is a Mersenne primality tester leveraging OpenCL for cross-vendor GPU acceleration.

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

Performance Metrics

GpuOwl 7.5

Exponent: 57885161

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 148 public results since 24 February 2024 with the latest data as of 13 January 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.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (GpuOwl 7.5 - Exponent: 57885161) has an average run-time of 9 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.
