👁 PyBench benchmark with settings of Total For Average Test Times. Ubuntu 24.04 LTS was the fastest.
There tended to be some nice performance improvements across a variety of workloads with succeeding Ubuntu Linux releases on this SiFive RISC-V developer board.
Going from Ubuntu 21.04 to 22.04 LTS was around 19% better performance while with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS it's up to 23% faster than where the SiFive HiFive Unmatched RISC-V with Freedom U740 SoC started out four years ago. All the benchmarks conducted can be found here.
