Parboil

The Parboil Benchmarks from the IMPACT Research Group at University of Illinois are a set of throughput computing applications for looking at computing architecture and compilers. Parboil test-cases support OpenMP, OpenCL, and CUDA multi-processing environments. However, at this time the test profile is just making use of the OpenMP and OpenCL test workloads.

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

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

Parboil 2.5

Test: OpenCL BFS

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 27 public results since 18 October 2018 with the latest data as of 11 March 2024.

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

OpenBenchmarking.orgDistribution Of Public Results - Test: OpenCL BFS27 Results Range From 0 To 16 Seconds24681012141618202224612182430

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Parboil 2.5 - Test: OpenCL BFS) 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.
