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

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.

@johndoe these are the results on my xiaomi mi a 2, devel, focal:

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=2 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
     1567 events per second

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
     2890 events per second

sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=4 run
Total operations: 50334961 (5028438.35 per second)
49155.24 MiB transferred (4910.58 MiB/sec)

sysbench --test=mutex --num-threads=64 run
     total time:                          8.6976s

hope that helps!

@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.

Updated benchmarks for Nord 2 on 20.04
sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=2 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
2492 events per second

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
4681 events per second

sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=4 run
Total operations: 104857600 (13066576.75 per second)
102400.00 MiB transferred (12760.33 MiB/sec)

sysbench --test=mutex --num-threads=64 run
total time: 2.6850s

The noteworthy changes were that memory bandwidth has increased 4x, while mutex test decreased 2x, no significant change in cpu benchmarks.

However, because there is always room for improvement, I changed the governor, ajusted niceness and increased threads (although the phone has 8 cores sysbench didn't seem to use them all), and these were the results:
2643 for 2 threads,
4833 for 8 threads,
5634 for 12 threads,
and.... 6172 for 16 threads

Maybe the latter benchmarks are not considered valid. I also have to note that benchmarks varied a little (±100) with these changes.

Result for a
Sony Xperia X f5121
Ubuntu 16.04 (ota-25)
Use the buttons bellow to start a benchmark
(the results will be displayed after the benchmark
finished, this can take some time!).
Please do not turn off your device or switch to
other apps, when running the benchmark,
this will make the results of a benchmark useless.

The results of a new benchmark will be displayed
under the results of performed benchmarks.

Example results for the CPU Benchmark of a Nexus 4:
sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=2 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
57 events per second

Use the buttons below to get results
that can be used to compare
your device with other devices.

I used the test for 3 devices, here are the results:

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --Cpu-max-prime=20000 run 113 events per second

sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=4 run Operations performed: 0 ( 0.00 ops/sec) 0.00 MB transferred (0.00 MB/sec)

sysbench --test=mutex --num-threads=64 run total time: 0.9229s

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=2 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run 1385 events per second

sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run 2465 events per second

sysbench --test=mutex --num-threads=64 run total time: 9.2790s

Device: pinetab2, ubuntu-sdk-20.04

sysbench -test=cpu -num-threads=2 -cpu-max-prime=20000 run 678 events per second

sysbench -test=cpu -num-threads=8 -cpu-max-prime=20000 run 1263 events per second

sysbench -testzmemory -num-threads=4 run Total operations: 50881276 (5086734.72 per second) 4968.75 MIB transferred (4967.51 MiB/sec)

sysbench -test=mutex -num-threads=64 run total time: 15.9498s

This result is quite in line with my observations when using these devices: Xperia X performance is quite good after the update to the new release.

Kind regards, Stefan

Thank you for the data. I will use it for the next update. But it could maybe take until next month for me to have time for it.
