l3tum/rial-bench repository overview

⁠CPU Benchmark

WIP Website is here Website⁠

⁠Complementary Repositories

• Website⁠
• Database⁠
• Aggregator⁠
• Server until I'm 99% certain that opening up the source of that won't enable hundreds of exploits it's gonna stay closed-source. However, it will be open-sourced until or with v1.0.

⁠Usage

Download the tool from here⁠.

You can download a pre-packaged version for your system or choose the "general" system. You'll need to install .NET Core 3 (or compatible) yourself in that case.

Execute it :)

⁠Building it yourself

The master branch always has the "bleeding edge" changes and should, but may not, be able to be compiled and run. If you want to get the latest changes then clone the repo and open it in your favourite .NET IDE. Compile the "Benchmarker" project which contains the CLI and then run the resulting executable.

⁠Available Options

Choose the benchmark to execute (replace BENCHMARK with the name of one of the benchmarks down below):

.\benchmarker.exe --benchmark={BENCHMARK}

Automatically detect the number of logical processors and execute the benchmark multithreaded (number of threads = number of logical processors)

.\benchmarker.exe --multithreaded

Manually set the amount of threads to use. Overwrites --multithreaded

.\benchmarker.exe --threads=4

Run the benchmark X times and average out the results. By default the benchmark will be run 3 times

\.benchmarker.exe --runs=5

Run the benchmarks in a memory efficient manner (on low-memory devices for example)

\.benchmarker.exe --memory-efficient

Run a stress test for the selected benchmark (currently only available for all extension benchmarks). Stop by pressing any key.

\.benchmarker.exe --stress

List all available benchmarks

\.benchmarker.exe --list-benchmrks

List all past results

\.benchmarker.exe --list-results

Upload your results

\.benchmarker.exe --upload

Clear all saved data

\.benchmarker.exe --clear

To combine the above

.\benchmarker.exe --benchmark=zip --multithreaded --runs=64
