I am trying to explain some results that I got from a recent benchmarking experiment. For that I need to know whether compiling the Linux kernel is a compute intensive task or a disk I/O intensive task. A justification too would be very helpful.

It's both compute and disk intensive! You'll get some stats from kcbench, which is available for most distros. Beyond that, it depends what you are trying to observe and prove.

  • I am not sure how these stats explain that it is both compute and disk intensive. I am trying to benchmark the performance of various virtual machines (kvm-qemu , vmplayer)
