🚀 Bashmark

Bashmark is a terminal-based benchmarking tool for testing CPU and GPU performance. Once installed, you can run it by simply typing:

bashmark

The program allows you to choose the type of benchmark you want to perform. Currently supported options:

• 🧮 CPU Single-core Benchmark
• 🧠 CPU Multi-core Benchmark
• 🎮 GPU Benchmark

(More features are coming soon!)

---

🛠️ How Does It Work?

Bashmark performs complex matrix math to simulate graphical rendering loads and computational tasks.

• The program runs each benchmark for 2 minutes.
• Outputs are displayed in a concise, easy-to-understand format.

---

🖥️ CPU Benchmarking

🧵 Single-core and Multi-core benchmarking is done by performing matrix math on one or more threads:

• Single-core → One thread
• Multi-core → Multiple threads

⚠️ Caution:

• The number of results may differ from the actual number of CPU cores, as the process depends on the number of threads, not cores.
• On CPUs with hybrid architectures (e.g. performance + efficiency cores), thread performance may vary.

---

🎮 GPU Benchmarking

GPU benchmarking works similarly to CPU benchmarking but runs matrix math directly on the GPU using OpenCL.

• GPU performance is independent of the number of threads.
• Device information is printed at the start of the process for debugging purposes.

⚠️ Caution:

• Ensure the correct GPU device is selected (especially on multi-GPU systems).
• For systems with unified memory, check if reported VRAM makes sense.
• If OpenCL is not installed, GPU benchmarks won't run — ensure your GPU drivers and OpenCL runtime are correctly installed.

---

🌍 Compatibility

Bashmark is designed from the ground up to work on:

• 🪟 Windows
• 🍎 macOS
• 🐧 Linux

Notes:

• CPU benchmarking works out of the box.
• GPU benchmarking requires proper installation of OpenCL — this may need manual setup on some systems.
• You may experience some lag when terminating a benchmark mid-run. The program has been tested to terminate cleanly without hanging.
