Generic CPU Bench

[btarunr]

I came across this 25 KB (!) benchmark application called Generic CPU Bench (ver. LOL.OMG). It appears to be a multi-threaded CPU benchmark. After finishing the bench, it also gives you the option to capture screenshots. The test starts as soon as the app is executed, so I'd suggest you start the app from a cmd shell or risk letting mouse movements mess with the score. The author of this app is Xtreme Member Particle. It requires .NET 2.0 framework.

What a Phenom X4 9750 at stock speed churns out:

Measurements are the time taken to crunch, and the throughput. Have fun pwning my score, and be nice to eachother.

Files (attached below):

The first file you see below, is the original app by Particle. It runs in 32-bit or 64-bit modes, depending on the environment (CPU + OS) it's in. The second file contains a modified app that runs in 32-bit mode regardless of which environment it is in. It was later observed in this thread, that processors perform better with the app running 32-bit. Both apps require Windows with .NET 2.0 framework installed.

 

[NastyHabits]

It doesn't launch on my P-35

 

[alexp999]

Here's mine, had to let people see a bit of my background

Expected to score a bit better than that over a Phenom (no offence), be interesting to see what higher clocked CPU's will do.

 

[btarunr]

CPU and PF usage during the run:

So the app indeed is stressing all available cores/threads.

 

[alexp999]

Wtf, I got this after I ran it again to check, PF and CPU usage. Re-ran three times and get approx the same.

I guess my first one was a dud?

 

[btarunr]

Maybe because from your first run, the memory already has that large 256M block in successive tests? Just blind-guessing.

Edit: A wee little improvement for me:

 

[erocker]

How did you get it to run through CMD? C:/run/Generic CPU Bench.exe?

 

[exodusprime1337]

wow my 5000 sucks i guess lol

 

[alexp999]

How did you get it to run through CMD? C:/run/Generic CPU Bench.exe?

I had to make the file one word or it wouldnt run. For me I changed it to "genericbench.exe" then it was fine

 

[btarunr]

How did you get it to run through CMD? C:/run/Generic CPU Bench.exe?

Just run it like any other app. Open a shell, x:\directory where it's stored\app.exe

Else place the app on your desktop, single click it to select, park your mouse somewhere, hit enter. This drill is just for accuracy. Click to run if you want.

 

[JrRacinFan]

 

[alexp999]

Throughput is what I would expect, but wow on the time!

Anyone any good at programming to find out what this tiny app is actually doing? And where it is getting 64bm of data per core/thread from?

 

[sneekypeet]

this test is GHEY I've run it 6 times and got 6 different scores?????

 

[alexp999]

this test is GHEY I've run it 6 times and got 6 different scores?????

I was thinking it didnt seem consistent. Just need someone to dive into the exe and find out what its doing...

 

[erocker]

Yaaay! Teh awesomezzz ZOMG!! kthnxbye!

 

[JrRacinFan]

Ran it again and got very close to the same score alex.

 

[sneekypeet]

hey Alex my Dual is doing the same as Jr.s on time!

 

[Arctucas]

Zomg!?

 

[alexp999]

hey Alex my Dual is doing the same as Jr.s on time!

Maybe it only does one core at a time or something? So more cores equals longer time but better throughput

 

[JrRacinFan]

If that is true my 4.6Ghz Single core would whip ass then. Lets see what happens, will post back with a ss.

 

[btarunr]

As for the scoreboard ranking, it's getting ranked taking the throughput into account, this is a multi-threaded bench afterall. I'm trying to work out a formula for an index that takes into account the throughput, crunch time, thoroughput : core count ratio, etc., so the dual-core speed demons aren't left unrewarded in the rank column. Until then we'll use the throughput.

 

[Silverel]

 

[tigger]

Heres mine.

 

[btarunr]

I don't get it. How come the same chip (A64X2 5000+BE) w/ higher OC perform worse

Something isn't right with this bench.

 

[JrRacinFan]

Bench with Janet

Celeron D 347 @ 4.6Ghz

EDIT: I think you are correct alex, its all in the throughput.
