Note that
- The /proc/cpuinfo shows only the current CPU freq. If we specify all threads when we ran the sysbench, we will be able to see the CPU MHz changed when we run watch.
watch -n1 "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep \"MHz\""
- To get the maximum freq, follow this
sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/*/cpufreq/cpuinfo_max_freq
Install 0.4.12 from source
For some reason, the threads option in version 1.0 does not work. See cpu test: single thread and multi-threads get the same result and Question about CPU benchmarking.
If we need to use version 0.4.12, we need to build from the source.

Run sysbench 0.4.12 using singularity
- Install singularity either from pre-build binary or source (See the 'Docs' under https://sylabs.io/singularity/)
- Create a new sub and build a container
- 'Execute' the container
# step 1: the following method installed an old version (2.6.1) of singularity # $ wget -O- http://neuro.debian.net/lists/bionic.us-nh.libre | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/neurodebian.sources.list $ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 0xA5D32F012649A5A9 $ sudo apt update $ sudo apt-get install singularity-container $ singularity --version # step 2 $ mkdir sysbench; cd sysbench $ nano sysbench.def $ sudo singularity build sysbench0412 sysbench.def # step 3 $ singularity exec sysbench0412 sysbench --num-threads=1 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --validate run $ singularity exec sysbench0412 sysbench --num-threads=4 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --validate run
where the definition file <Singularity> (recall Ubuntu 16.04 still has the old version of sysbench) is
$ cat sysbench.def Bootstrap: docker From: ubuntu:16.04 %post apt-get -y update apt-get -y install sysbench %environment export LC_ALL=C export PATH=/usr/games:$PATH

How To Understand GPU Benchmarks
iGPU
- You can find the number of cores in an iGPU by looking up the specifications of the CPU that contains the iGPU. This information can be found on the manufacturer’s website or through a web search. For example, if you search for Intel Core i7-1185G7 specifications” you will find that this CPU has an integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics with 96 Execution Units (EUs), which are equivalent to cores in a GPU.

NVIDIA GPU
- The main difference between NVIDIA GeForce GTX and Quadro GPUs is their target audience and intended use.
- GeForce GTX series is primarily designed for gaming and consumer-level applications. These graphics cards are optimized for high performance, which reduces latency in online games. GeForce GTX cards are designed specifically for gaming and consumer-level applications. They are optimized for high performance, which reduces latency in online games.
- Quadro series is designed for professional applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC), and scientific simulations. Quadro cards are designed for very specific render tasks like CAD design and professional video rendering. They also support double precision computations which are used in scientific research and digital content creation (DCC) 12. This makes them more suitable for scientific simulations than GTX cards.

USB, SATA and PCIe
- Raspberry Pi 4 vs. Raspberry Pi 5: 14 Key Differences
- the PCIe on the Raspberry Pi 5 is a single-line PCI Express 2.0 x1 connector. This has a maximum bandwidth of 500MBps (Bytes, not bits). The latest PCIe 4.0 SSDs can do 8000Mbps (1000MBps).
- Whether a SATA SSD connected to USB 3.0 is a better choice then an M.2 SSD connected to PCIe: USB 3.0 in the Pi 5 is 5Gbps, which is 625MBps. SATA 3 adapters can handle 6Gbps. PCIe 2.0 x1 is limited to 500MBps. So, it will be similar speeds for both SATA and PCIe SSDs on the Pi 5. The advantage with SATA adapters is that you do not need to use the HAT.

dd
Linux and Unix Test Disk I/O Performance With dd Command
- Test write speed
$ sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=tempfile bs=1M count=1024; sync; rm tempfile # External storage $ sync; dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/user/MyUSB/tempfile bs=1M count=1024; sync
- Test read speed
$ dd if=tempfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 # do not use this # Clear the cache $ sudo /sbin/sysctl -w vm.drop_caches=3 $ dd if=tempfile of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1024 # consistent with 'disks' utility
hdparm
To test the disk performance, follow cyberciti.biz. Note that the parameter oflag=dsync makes a difference. -t and --direct measures data transfer rate but bypassing hard drive's buffer cache memory thus reading directly from the disk.
Here I have a 7200rpm Seagate (ST2000DM001-1CH164) and a 5400rpm WD-blue (WD30EZRZ-00WN9B0)
# Hard disk info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hdparm sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb # Writing speed, where /tmp is a directory from the disk dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.img bs=2G count=1; rm /tmp/test1.img # 1.4 GB/s from either 5400 or 7200 rpm $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/brb/My\ Passport/test1.img bs=2G count=1 # 2147479552 bytes (2.1 GB, 2.0 GiB) copied, 12.0418 s, 178 MB/s. --- WD 2T HDD dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test1.img bs=2G count=1 oflag=dsync; rm /tmp/test1.img # 115 MB/s from 5400 rpm # 166 MB/s from 7200 rpm # Latency dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test2.img bs=512 count=1000 oflag=dsync; rm /tmp/test2.img # 27.7 kB/s from 5400 rpm <==== This is interesting # 12.5 kB/s from 7200 rpm # Read speed dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test3.img bs=1G count=1 oflag=direct; rm /tmp/test3.img # 122 MB/s from 5400 rpm # 180 MB/s from 7200 rpm
Note
- dd manual
- oflag=dsync: Use synchronized I/O for data. Do not skip this option. This option get rid of caching and gives you good and accurate results
lsblk # find the root "/" device sudo hdparm -t --direct /dev/mmcblk0p1 # eg internal sudo hdparm -t --direct /dev/mmcblk0p2 # eg sd card sudo hdparm -t --direct /dev/sda1 # eg USB sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sda sudo hdparm -t /dev/vdb # Measure Hard Disk Device Read Speed sudo hdparm -T /dev/vdb # Measure Hard Disk Cache Read Speed # Reading cache will give more higher performance than reading # from disk because only the cached data will be used and tested. hdparm -I /dev/sda # show information about disk
NB: hdparm does not have the ability to find the write speed. You will have to use another command line utility called dd to find the write speed.
Example: Silicon-power 512GB ssd. The box says it can read up to 560MB/s & write up to 530MB/s. Below is a test result running on NUC Pentium Silver J5005 CPU.
$ sudo hdparm -t --direct /dev/sdb1 [sudo] password for brb: /dev/sdb1: Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 1068 MB in 3.01 seconds = 355.34 MB/sec
On UDOO x86, the SSD is 341.77MB/s. The eMMC speed on UDOO x86 is 130MB/s. A portable HDD has a speed 24-29MB/s.
On ODroid x4, the eMMC is 150MB/s.
On phenom server, Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB is 235 MB/s, the HDD speed is 150MB/s (WD black WD4003FZEX 4TB, 2013) and 68MB/s (ST ST3640323as 640GB, 2014).
On Raspberry Pi 3B (sudo apt-get install hdparm), the microSD speed is 22MB/s only. The same SSD plugged to a USB2 port has a speed 34MB/s only.
on Dell t3600 Xeon E5-1650, the HDD (WD Blue 3TB 5400 rpm) speed is 50MB/s and the external USB (WD My Book 4T) is 25MB/s (216.50 kB/s before waking up).

Network speed
- 4.5MB/s wifi on raspberry pi 3B+ at home wifi-to-wifi, 7.3MB/s ethernet-to-wifi (tested using scp). Note Pi3b+ has gigabit ethernet network.
- Gigabit Ethernet over USB 2.0 (maximum throughput 300Mbps) on Raspberry Pi 3B+.
- 5.3MB/s ethernet on UDOO x86 at home wifi-to-ethernet, 62MB/s ethernet-to-ethernet (scp).
- 33MB/s when I downloaded Linux iso from antiX, MX Linux from mirror.umd.edu.

time command
transfer_speed = (file_size * 8) / (transfer_time * 1000000)
For example, if you transferred a 10 MB file in 5 seconds, the transfer speed would be calculated like this: transfer_speed = (10 * 1024 * 1024 * 8) / (5 * 1000000) = 16.78 Mbit/s
In the formula for calculating the transfer speed in megabits per second (Mbit/s), we divide by 1,000,000 (one million) to convert the result from bits per second (bit/s) to megabits per second (Mbit/s).
