I have reached the point of diminishing returns for Phoronix tests. Reached 240 workloads analyzed and another ~30+ workloads that are skipped, mostly as GPU centric tests. These 270+ tests fully cover the 56 Phoronix benchmark articles so far this … Continue reading →
The following Phoronix Article – https://www.phoronix.com/review/nvidia-gh200-compilers compares GCC 13.2 with Clang 17.0.2 on an ARM platform. On the discussions attached the improvement for graphics-magick sharpen benchmark particularly stand out. So I thought I would see if I could see a … Continue reading →
I passed over 200 Phoronix tests added. There were a little over 10 benchmark articles in February. I seem to have most all the benchmarks when an article comes out and only needed to add one or two for some … Continue reading →
cachyos.org is a Arch distribution designed to be quick. Several techniques are used including having packages compiled for the ISA rather than a generic. A the following Phoronix article shows the v3 (modern ISA) packages generally win and the v4 … Continue reading →
I was surprised at the narrow range of the opcache hit/miss rate and related metrics for the icache As it turns out there is an obvious explanation. The metrics were being measured as expected, but my addition to the script … Continue reading →
I now have the ability to create summary histograms characterizing the workloads. These are (re)-generated as I update performance reports, but following is values with ~170 workloads added. Walking through the histograms and what they describe… Most of the runs … Continue reading →
After adding general parsing of measurement statistics, I can now also create a statistical summary across all ~170 benchmarks as shown below. This lets me see for example the minimum IPC, maximum IPC, mean IPC and standard deviation. This will … Continue reading →
I have been maintaining a table by hand with various performance metrics – both on the website and separately in Google Sheets. In addition to the extra work required, I also by nature only put some of the columns. So … Continue reading →
Phoronix has published its roundup of benchmark/performance/review articles – https://www.phoronix.com/news/January-2024-Highlights Included were 10 articles with reviews and benchmarks. I’ve been keeping up with CPU workloads listed and now >130 workloads total. I haven’t added GPU/graphics tests because I haven’t developed … Continue reading →
I am now close to 100 overall phoronix tests added. Recent articles still include a number of new benchmarks, typically I have ~2/3 of the ones in an article and then need to add the remaining ones. However, over time … Continue reading →
