With OpenBenchmarking.org having turned four years old a few days ago earlier this week I provided a look at the most popular/used benchmarks/tests on our open cloud service while in this article is a look at the most viewed test results.

The listing below are the top thirty most viewed result files hosted on OpenBenchmarking.org over the past four years. They were uploaded via results from the Phoronix Test Suite and represent not only results from articles here at Phoronix.com but as you can see there's a wide-range of very popular results from the community too. OpenBenchmarking.org has seen hundreds of thousands of results uploaded over the past four years from over one hundred thousand different Linux/BSD/Solaris/OSX/Windows systems running the Phoronix Test Suite and metrics on over two million benchmark runs.


With that said, here's the most viewed result files:
