Results Interpretation


Raw Results

Details

We compare results from five kernels, run on the same hardware platform. AIM9 reports results using three metrics:

AIM9 reports these metrics for the 60 routines performed by the test suite.
The tests divide into several groups.


We compare tests run on different kernels, using one filesystem type (ext2) Tests run on one kernel can be used to compare filesystem performance. For each metric, we calculate the average score and the standard deviation for the five kernels. Then to scale the results, we calculate the ratio between the standard deviation and the average, expressed as percent ( (StdDev/Average) * 100 ) This comparison revels which test are sensitive to kernel changes. In the following charts, we have color coded the results and grouped them into three areas:

Comments on the operations chart

Change greater than 10 percent
Change between 5 and 10 percent
