SystemBenchmark

SystemBenchmark[]

runs the WolframMark benchmark.

SystemBenchmark["Notebook"]

generates a report notebook.

Details and Options

  • SystemBenchmark is typically used to evaluate computer performance.
  • SystemBenchmark[] gives benchmark results obtained by running the latest WolframMark benchmark.
  • The overall result is computed as a geometric mean of the reciprocal of individual timings, normalized with respect to a reference system.
  • The timings for the individual computations are measured with AbsoluteTiming.
  • SystemBenchmark["Notebook"] runs the WolframMark benchmark and generates a report notebook.
  • To submit your benchmark report, click the upload icon in the docked cell.

Basic Examples  (2)

Run the WolframMark benchmark:

Wolfram Language code: SystemBenchmark[]
Wolfram Language code: [image]

Get detailed results:

Wolfram Language code: results = %["Results"]

Generate a report notebook:

Wolfram Language code: SystemBenchmark["Notebook"]
Wolfram Language code: [image]

Scope  (3)

Run the latest WolframMark benchmark:

Wolfram Language code: res = SystemBenchmark[]

Get the machine name:

Wolfram Language code: res["MachineName"]

The score:

Wolfram Language code: res["Score"]

The detailed results:

Wolfram Language code: res["Results"]

Generate a report notebook:

Wolfram Language code: SystemBenchmark["Notebook"]
Wolfram Language code: [image]

Extract benchmark results:

Wolfram Language code: data = Tabular[SystemBenchmark[]["Results"], {"Tests", "Timings"}]

A pie chart:

Wolfram Language code: PieChart[data -> "Timings", Rule[...]]

A bar chart:

Wolfram Language code: BarChart[data -> "Timings", ...]
