Since Tech Forums CPU Bench doesn't work under Linux (tried using WINE, gives an error), I've created LOLBENCH, the revolutionary new benchmarking utility for any type of *nix using BASH. It utilizes an advanced algorithm which stresses all of the cores of your single-core processor by counting all the way to one million!
Enjoy:
Code:
clear; echo -e "LOLBENCH v0.1 \n \nRunning... \n"; x="1"; time while [ $x -lt "1000000" ]; do x=$[x+1]; done
Okay good news. Ive been working on it a tiny bit and have gotten all the tests to work and the new results template etc. So its still less time is better but the scale has changed. A 2.8ghz P4 now gets about 65 marks. Here is the new result scheme:
///// TechForums CPU Bench v0.3
String Find and Delete: 7.95
Zip Dump: 12.80
Prime Numbers: 8.43
Encrypt/Decrypt String: 9.09
Image to Text: 14.58
Total Execute Time (Less is better): 67.41
Additional: x86 / 1 / Windows XP
NEW VERSION UP. I dont think i maxed out the cores which is one of the issues but its certainly alot better.
So now here is the new basis: Average 2.8ghz Pentium4 averages around a 50. (Did two tests, got 50 and 51.) So yeah. Ill make a big bold statement below this post so you know where the new results kick in:
