Benchmark
Geekbench
Geekbench is a cross-platform benchmark that measures the performance of your computer's processor and memory.
Sysbench
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sysbench sysbench --num-threads=1 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --validate run # sysbench version is 0.4.12, Ubuntu 16.04 sysbench --threads=1 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=20000 --validate run # sysbench version 1.0.11, Ubuntu 18.04
The following one was used to benchmark Raspberry Pi 32-bit vs 64-bit.
sysbench --threads=4 --test=cpu --cpu-max-prime=300000 run && 7za b

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
</syntaxhighlight>
Install 0.4.12 from source
For some reason, the threads option in version 1.0 does not work. So I still need version 0.4.12.

- https://github.com/akopytov/sysbench/blob/master/README.md#general-syntax How to build from source
sudo apt install automake autoconf libtool libmysqlclient-dev libssl1.0.0 libssl-dev make wget http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/sysbench/sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz/3a6d54fdd3fe002328e4458206392b9d/sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz tar zxvf sysbench-0.4.12.tar.gz cd sysbench-0.4.12/ ./autogen.sh ./configure --without-mysql sudo make # Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't already running(EE) # ... # ../libtool: line 5281: : command not found sudo make install
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 Singularity $ sudo singularity build sysbench0412 Singularity # 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 Singularity
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
Interestingly, the container build using singularity 2.6.1 also works on singularity 3.5.0 (compile from source).

Disk speed test
- Disk Speed Test (Read/Write): HDD, SSD Performance in Linux
- GUI method: use the 'disks' (gnome-disks) utility in Ubuntu
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 # 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
hdparm is a Linux command line utility that allows to set and view hardware parameters of hard disk drives. -t and --direct measures data transfer rate but bypassing hard drive's buffer cache memory thus reading directly from the disk.
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
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 phenom server, 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).
