RubyBench was born out from Sam Saffron's call for a long running Ruby benchmark.
Ruby Scripts: https://github.com/ruby/ruby/tree/trunk/benchmark
Discourse Scripts: https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/master/script
The scripts are executed in a bare metal server using Docker containers to ensure consistent results. To view how the scripts are executed, head over to https://github.com/ruby-bench/ruby-bench-docker.
Our current bare metal server is sponsored by the team over at RubyTune.com.
All benchmarks are run on a bare metal server in order to achieve consistent and repeatable results. We will not publish CPU results gathered on virtual hosts where we can not control our CPU allocation. The only results published are run on production level bare metal servers.
The bare metal server is purchased from Hetzner Online and has the following configurations:
| System | Type Component |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Ubuntu-1404-trusty-64-minimal |
| RAM | 4 x 8GB Micron ECC, Part Number: 18KSF1G72AZ-1G6E1 |
| Processor | 3.6GHz Intel® Xeon® E3-1270 v3 Quad-Core Haswell incl. Hyper-Threading Technology |
| Hard Drive | 2 x Samsung SSD 845DC EVO - 240 GB - 2,5" SATA III |
| Motherboard | Intel Coporation S1200RP |
PostgreSQL 9.x in order to enable the hstore extension.
