8-Way Spring 2020 Linux Distribution Performance Comparison With 240+ Benchmarks

[edwaleni]

for video transcode farm you'd just recompile your transcode app targeting your cpu and get it fast on any distro

Just making sure I understand what you are saying....because this test result just showed that performance in running a coding event is OS dependent.

Since the libs were the same on each OS, and the hardware used is the same. by your remark I should see the same result.

If the coder was coded and compiled to use all of the available CPU related enhancements as exposed by the OS, how would a recompile of the app buy you anything?

If there is a good white paper or link you have at your disposal on this subject that you could share, I would enjoy reading it. Thanks.

Thanks for the interesting benchmarks. I do believe, however, that the number of tests won as 1st as metric for ranking the distributions is not too conclusive. Debian seems to do quite well just seldom being ranked 1st.

App developers: please increase the use of -fmv compile patches!
Distro developers: create repositories for packages with -fmv enabled so retro hardware users dont lose functionality!

We could have more performance from Clear linux if the people in the right places wanted to!

Amen!

micheal thanks for this comparison

why manjaro is always in your test is there something wrong with this distro

Apparently you wanted to finish this sentence, but when you.

I don't like people who don't finish their.

It did, but somewhere I read, I think it was a post from here actually, that was talking about how apparmor is slower than selinux for certain contexts.

i was trying to say that maybe proper solution is to switch to (distro with)selinux instead of just disabling apparmor

Why not add Gentoo? They claim theirptheir configured kernel would beat Clear Linux.

nope their already benchmark for this and clear patch win against configured kernel
