ut-sysbench-qt-gui: Compare CPU performance of different devices

johndoe

@sven Nice. I would appreciate it, if you could also test the app on your OnePlus 3T and share the results of the benchmarks, if you have time for that.

sven

@johndoe Unfortunately, I borrowed the OnePlus 3T to a colleague; so I cannot run any tests ... at the moment.

johndoe

@sven Ok, no problem.

@johndoe
New version works perfectly on another Cosmo Communicator and another PinePhone.
New export and compare function works flawlessly on both.
Copy and paste results works on Cosmo, if only I could figure out how to Ctrl+V on the PinePhone touchscreen .
Really nice looking app. From my very basic understanding of the numbers I would say the app accurately reflects my experience on the two devices I have in their current state of play.

@moncon Thanks, I think you can touch and hold a text field and then tap "Paste" to paste the text, that you have in the clipboard (but I see that you somehow managed to get the data of the Pinephone into your comment). It is good to see that the results are overall consistent with other phones from the same model.

@johndoe said in ut-sysbench-qt-gui: Compare CPU performance of different devices:

Hello,
I wrote an app to compare the performance of different devices and released it on the OpenStore: https://open-store.io/app/ut-sysbench-qt-gui
I hope the arm64 version works, because I can only test the armhf version.
It would be nice, if some of you could share your device's name together with the results you get, after clicking on "Multiple Benchmarks".
"Export and Compare" will copy the results to your clipboard and show you a bar chart with the performace of other devices.

Multiple results from different persons for the same model are also useful.

You are also free to share problems with my app. I know that the memory (RAM) test does not work on all devices.

Nice!

Would it be possible to compile the user results into some kind of diagram/table which allows to easily compare device performance?

johndoe

@s710 @s710 When you click on the button "Export and Compare", you should see a diagram that compares your device with other devices and the test results of your device will also be saved to your clipboard. If you want to export the shown diagram, you could take a screenshot (pressing power up and down at the same time or hold the power button and select "Screenshot" in the Lomiri power menu). You will also find what is shown in the app under:
~/.cache/ut-sysbench-qt-gui/messages/temp_message.txt

The text file under "~/.cache/ut-sysbench-qt-gui/messages/temp_message.txt" should look something like this after you performed a CPU test and clicked on "Export and Compare":

The results of the performed tests have been
copied to your clipboard 📋
(you can paste it into text fields
of other apps or websites).

The shown benchmarks only give a rough idea
about a device's performance and do not
fully represent the everyday performance of
a device.

Hey, thanks for the summary, thats really interesting. I didn't test the app, I was rather thinking that this kind of diagram could be very helpful for someone who wants to pick a device to UT. It could maybe also be integrated into the devices list on the website?

Oh, and could anyone do a OnePlus 6T, as I was wondering if it would perform better than the VollaPhone?

@ikoz thank you really much. I was offline for some time and did not see your post, but I will add this data to the app with the next update.

johndoe

Hello,
I moved this app from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 20.04.
Some things changed with this and I am not sure, if the test is still consistent between versions (do to possible optimizations with 20.04 and a newer sysbench version).
I would be thankful, if some of you could install the app on a device with Ubuntu 20.04 and post the result after clicking on "Multiple Benchmarks".
Please do not switch to other apps or rotate the screen of your device while the test is running.
Should there be significant differences between OS versions, I will maybe need to consider this when working on the compare feature.
Thanks to everyone who helped me with this app and everyone who wants to help.

@messayisto Yes, thank you. This helps to confirm, that the test result of the app is not comparable between different OS versions.

Just to be sure: You also did not turn the screen of your device off when the test was running?

messayisto

@johndoe No, I left the screen on, the test took only a few seconds.
