For each one I have a graph and some pages of information.  My general idea is to take the benchmark-based Phoronix articles and see if I can start to keep up with cpu-focused benchmarks used.  So far there have been three articles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>January 4th &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/intel-meteorlake-gcc-clang\">https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/intel-meteorlake-gcc-clang<\/a> compiler performance focus where I have most of the benchmarks and still need six more. What I haven&#8217;t done is reproduce the recompilations used in the article. I expect to get the last six benchmarks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>January 5th &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/intel-5th-gen-xeon-avx512\">https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/intel-5th-gen-xeon-avx512<\/a> Emerald Rapids AVX-512 performance. I have all the benchmarks here, though haven&#8217;t recompiled to see where AVX-512 helps and how it alters the profiles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>January 7th &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/z1-extreme-meteorlake\">https:\/\/www.phoronix.com\/review\/z1-extreme-meteorlake<\/a> is more focused on graphics with one non-graphics benchmark missing (simdjson); having some difficulties getting this one to run. Not sure how much I will run the graphics benchmarks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point I expect if I try knocking off one benchmark a day, I should be able to keep up with newer articles for most benchmarks. This also gets me a good database to compare various metrics both in the metrics table and separately I have an Excel sheet that looks like below. This helps me compare these workloads to see what high\/low values for topdown\/ipc might metrics might be. Listed in green are those in top 10% and red are bottom 10% of each metric. On the left column those in green were part of a phoronix article and others were not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1108\" height=\"1097\" src=\"https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/perf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/benchmarkoverview.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/perf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/benchmarkoverview.png 1108w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/perf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/benchmarkoverview-1024x1014.png 1024w, https:\/\/mvermeulen.org\/perf\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2024\/01\/benchmarkoverview-768x760.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1108px) 100vw, 1108px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This has also let me tune my workflow and gradually consider adding graphs as it made sense. I can now also look at high\/low outliers from table below and dive deeper , e.g. on areas where one metric dominates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some areas it also lets me consider a little further&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is some additional automation I could do, for example\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>More automatically generate web pages; perhaps not in the wordpress style but I can automatically generate pages that insert graphs and labels.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rather than populate the table manually, have my tests generate MySQL code that can insert entries into a database. This more easily would let me expand the table to include metrics I don&#8217;t currently such as the amount of floating point or branch\/cache miss ratios.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phoronix has a notion of a &#8220;default-benchmark&#8221;  I have been running all the benchmarks which sometimes gives me a view of differences, but using a default might make them more comparable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phoronix saves test results in an XML file. At minimum I might also save that file, but also see about more automatically printing the phoronix result?  Perhaps part of using phoronix generation scripts for printing results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This also gives me an area to dig deeper on various workloads and then incrementally improve the tools as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am now up to 50 phoronix workloads as summarized on the workloads page.
