  • multi-thread suite

    Hey Michael, how about putting the multi-threaded tests into a suite of their own to show the speed difference with x number of cores?

    All of the compilation tests are able to handle multiple jobs concurrently and is done automatically... In regards to making an SMP suite, that may be a good idea. There is also the multi-thread friendly ET:QW and Quake 4 and a few others.

      Sunflow is multithreaded as well and if you include p7zip into your tests you would have another multithread as well (which would be really easy since it has a built in benchmark "7za b" will invoke it).

      PS there is also the multithreaded verison of bzip2 as well @ http://compression.ca/pbzip2/

        Both pbzip2 and p7zip profiles are now in the git tree

          ./phoronix-test-suite benchmark multicore

          is in there now.

            I'd be interested to see if "true" quad-cores such as the Phenom have an edge over multi-chip processors such as the Core 2 Duos/Quads as far as scalability goes (i.e., how much performance is gained from using one core to using all cores). It'd be nice if the "multicore" tests ran with only one core, then two, etc... Performance gain ratios could then be computed (i.e. 1.97x with two cores, 3.72x with four cores, etc).

            Obviously, scalability relies primarily on the app itself, but at least we could compare ratios between CPUs.
