CoreBench - Benchmark for CoreOS

This program aims to perform the following functions:

• Single core and thread performance
• Multithreaded CPU performance (Multiple threads on one core)
• Multicore CPU performance (1 thread per core)

Then, if applicable:

• GPU performance

And then finally retrieve all system information, inculding:

• Operating system
• RAM quantity
• CPU brand and name
• GPU brand and name
• System name (hostname)

This bench is more accurate on lower-end systems running Core. High end systems may achieve very fluctuating results.

When running CoreBench, you agree to the following:

• Your data (only listed above) may be stored on an external server.
• Your data uploaded to the external server (only listed above) belongs to TriTech for any fair use such as:
  • Making tables, graphs, or charts featuring your data.

  • Publishing your data publicly unassociated with your system name.
  • Storage on any device owned by TriTech.
  • Any other use considered fair.

Info and Devlog

Users running on Windows through Python interpreters may run into issues such as absurdly low scores, much longer loading times, and inefficient hardware utilization. The multicore method used in this program is NOT compatible with Windows. Higher end systems on Windows may achieve low scores compared to Linux users, as the benchmark was designed for Linux. If you desperately want to run this and get accurate results, I guess you could make a tiny partition for dual booting a Linux distro.

Version 1.0.0

• As of CoreBench version 1.0.0, there is no storage of data. There may be in future updates when a simple cloud solution is found
• This program lacks the ability to run GPU tests, it is currently limited to CPU single core, multi core, and multi thread benchmarks
• This program lacks testing data, so what can be considered "good" and "bad" has not been determined yet, so scores are currently arbitrary. Feel free after executing this program to send me your info and scores at TriTechUX@gmail.com
• During multicore and multithread tests, multiple lines of text will show for the progress of the different operations

Version 1.0.1

• Changed RAM to calculate more accurately by showing two decimal places
• Fixed misnaming of "totalTime" variable in the single core test
• Optimised to run faster and obtain more accurate scores representative of the system
• Fixed stage 3 single core test percentage going up in multiples of 2 instead of 1
• Fixed stage 2 multicore/multithread test progress showing one decimal place instead of only one significant figure
• Balanced single core scores to be higher and more representative of the system's power

Version 1.0.2

• Added full CPU performance test
• Improved readability of test select menu
• Renamed "info.txt" to "corebenchinfo.txt" as the name was too generic, and removal of this file could cause issues if the file is for other applications
• Added all test results to full CPU performance test results screen

Version 1.0.3

• Added checks for administrator/root permissions on startup

Version 1.0.4

• Aimed to fix a few small issues with text formatting and RAM calculations
• Added specific Linux distro identification to make recording results easier
• Full CPU test no longer flashes results from each individual test
• Full CPU test results are now stored to file corebenchinfo.txt
• Added a timer cooldown between successive tests on the full CPU test
• Fixed multithread test results being bottlenecked by I/O operations and percentage calculations
• Fixed multithread epilepsy effect
• Fixed a very intellectual bug that meant that the script wouldn't correctly check for admin privileges on Linux/MacOS (totally didn't use os.geteuid() instead of os.getuid())
• Did the same fix to the multiprocessing test as the multithread test.
• Added compatibility with CPU temperature monitoring. This project may require lm_sensors in the future.
• Removed the 4 decimal place CPU clock speed response and rounded it to 2 decimal places as is standard.
• Updated core count to count physical CPU cores, and added a seperate info tab for threads - ruining my colour scheme >:(
• Neofetch is now a dependency of CoreBench. It is utilised to get the colour of your distro.

Version 1.0.5

• Added support for the Windows-coloured name in the "OS Name" tab (despite there being no Windows support)
• Added more loading messages.
• Added an activation screen when grabbing "essential" variable data.
• The multithread test now utilises 12 threads.
• The multicore test now utilises 6 cores.

Major Feature!

• Dynamic mode - adjusts the performance tests based on your hardware. Multicore and multithread tests will match the number of cores and threads your CPU has. It's a test aimed at CPU efficiency (not power efficiency, core and thread utilisation efficiency), so comparing dynamic mode scores between 2 CPUs with different core/thread counts is not advised. (The default test runs on 6 cores and 12 threads.) Your scores will not be submitted when recorded in dynamic mode. Press [CTRL] + [C] when CoreBench is starting up (before it shows Activating...) to enter dynamic mode.

• CoreBench 104 and 105 beta only ran on 4 cores and 4 threads. This has been adjusted for realistic performance monitoring, now running on 6 cores and 12 threads.

• Various stability fixes.

• Various score re-balancing (comparing scores between 104 and 105 is no longer valid, and these changes explain why I haven't made the database yet)

• Scores in dynamic mode are based on the ratio of cores/threads to 6 and 12.

• Dynamic mode was finished on 05/02/2025.
