pmbench Benchmark - OpenBenchmarking.org

Pmbench is a Linux paging and virtual memory benchmark. This test profile will report the average page latency of the system.

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

* Uploading of benchmark result data to OpenBenchmarking.org is always optional (opt-in) via the Phoronix Test Suite for users wishing to share their results publicly.
** Data based on those opting to upload their test results to OpenBenchmarking.org and users enabling the opt-in anonymous statistics reporting while running benchmarks from an Internet-connected platform.
*** Test profile page view reporting began March 2021.
Data updated weekly as of 8 November 2024.

Concurrent Worker Threads: 1 - Read-Write Ratio: 100% Writes

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 501 public results since 18 February 2020 with the latest data as of 28 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.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (pmbench - Concurrent Worker Threads: 1 - Read-Write Ratio: 100% Writes) has an average run-time of 4 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 0.3%.
