Name

borg-benchmark-cpu - Benchmark CPU-bound operations.

SYNOPSIS

borg [common options] benchmark cpu [options]

DESCRIPTION

This command benchmarks miscellaneous CPU-bound Borg operations.

It creates input data in memory, runs the operation and then displays throughput. To reduce outside influence on the timings, please make sure to run this with:

  • an otherwise as idle as possible machine
  • enough free memory so there will be no slow down due to paging activity
