Analyze Test Configuration:

MBW 2018-09-08

Test: Memory Copy - Array Size: 1024 MiB

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 1,159 public results since 5 October 2018 with the latest data as of 2 June 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.
