      @sven Restarting the app or rotating the screen will maybe fix graphical bugs. I will work on a solution.
      @MonCon 👍 👍

        The only graphical tweak I could think of that I've done to mine is to reduce the 'launcher width' in UT Tweak Tool from 8 to 6 to get a couple more pinned shortcuts on the left hand side of the screen. I reset the value to 8 and rebooted and the buttons disappeared, set the value back to 6 and the buttons reappeared, see attached screenshots.

          @kugiigi I made some suggested changes to the app (including 'QtQuick components instead of QtWidgets'). It would be nice if you could try to run it on the Pinephone again and try to performe "Multiple Benchmarks", but be aware, that it will maybe crash again.

            @johndoe Yup it's working now on the Pinephone. Thanks

            Here's the results. I'm surprised it has a lot better results than phones like Nexus 5

            sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=2 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
                617 events per second
            
            sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
                1190 events per second
            
            sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=4 run
            Operations performed: 104857600 (875326.88 ops/sec)
            102400.00 MB transferred (854.81 MB/sec)
            
            sysbench --test=mutex --num-threads=64 run
                total time:                          1.0368s

              The new version works perfectly on the Cosmo Communicator.

                @kugiigi Thank you. Yes, this is really interesting. I think the difference between older phones and newer phones is so big, because the older phones have 32bit ARM CPUs and maybe ARM made changes for their 64bit architecture, that allows the CPU to perform way better in the specific workload in the sysbench CPU test.
                What is even more interesting to me, is that that some phones with Mediatek CPUs perform better than the Pixel 3a and that the Librem 5 has similar results to the PinePhone (and not better results with a CPU that costs way more than an Allwinner A64).
                I don't think that represents the everyday performance and responsiveness of the phones and I will maybe add a disclaimer to the app, that the results only give a rough idea about the performance, that the sysbench results are not 100% perfect and also other tests should be looked at when comparing devices.

                Here are the results of the Librem5 with PureOS and results coming from a newer version of sysbench (maybe this could also explain why it did not perform better than the PinePhone, but I do not think so) :

                sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=2 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
                events per second: 595.77

                sysbench --test=cpu --num-threads=8 --cpu-max-prime=20000 run
                events per second: 1190.77

                sysbench --test=memory --num-threads=4 run
                5643286.07 ops per second
                5511.02 MiB/sec

                sysbench --test=mutex --num-threads=64 run
                total time: 16.1842s

                  @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.

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

                            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.

                                ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                Results of my LG Nexus 4 with Ubuntu 16.04 OTA-19:

                                Nice!

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

                                  @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":

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

                                    @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

                                    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.
