Benchmark – COA’s Module 8

CPU & Hardware Performance Benchmarks

In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.
CPU benchmark (CPU benchmarking) is a series of tests designed to measure the performance of a computer or device CPU. A set of standards, or baseline measurements are used to compare the performance of different systems, using the same methods and circumstances.
There are available CPU benchmark software available and free for download. We may explore, try and experience it on our own computer.

 

I have found several interesting videos for you (specific to our COA’s class). You may go through the video one by one for better understanding.

Gamingg! Easy to relate right. However, benchmark is not limited to GPU, in our case we focus on CPU and hardware performance benchmarking.

Hope the videos help us learning in exciting way and gain experience as much as we can with benchmarking.
