LinuxBenchHub

A benchmarking dataset for Linux distros — Phoronix Test Suite runs on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Debian, captured monthly in GitHub Actions on identical runner hardware, with a Rails dashboard and R parsers consuming the same composite XML.

Note this site is the static showcase. Fresh captures land in the repo on the 1st of every month via the capture-benchmarks workflow. The Rails dashboard reads the same composite XML — see the README setup section to run it locally.

Sample results — Ubuntu 24.04

The fully parsed sample runs on 2× Intel Core i5-7360U (3 cores), 4 GB RAM, 21 GB disk, in VMware Fusion Pro 13.6.1. Each benchmark ran 9 times; the dot shows the mean, the band shows ±1σ around it.

Per-distro writeups

Three distros, same VM specs. Ubuntu is the parsed sample; Fedora and Debian have captured runs but the parsed-out hero numbers are still pending.

How the pieces fit

The R parsers and the Rails ingester are interchangeable consumers of the same pts/composite.xml — run the static analysis with R alone, or use the dashboard alone, or both.
