benchmark.sh

Bash Script which runs several Linux benchmarks (Sysbench, UnixBench and Geekbench). I've tried to keep it simple. You can adjust it quickly.

Requirements

• GNU/Linux
  • Currently only tested with Ubuntu and Fedora. Should also work with every other Linux distribution and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
• Bash
• curl
• Make
• GCC
• Perl
• Network tools
  • ifconfig
  • ping
  • traceroute
• PCI Utilities
  • lspci
• Hardware Lister (lshw)
• dd
• IOPing
• FIO
• SysBench

These Ubuntu packages should be installed:

apt-get install     \
	bash            \
	curl            \
	make            \
	gcc             \
	build-essential \
	net-tools       \
	inetutils-ping  \
	traceroute      \
	pciutils        \
	perl            \
	lshw            \
	ioping          \
	fio             \
	sysbench

UnixBench and Geekbench 5 are automatically loaded and are temporarily installed.

Installation

Download:

curl -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Cyclenerd/benchmark/master/benchmark.sh -o benchmark.sh

Alternative download with short URL:

curl -fL http://bit.ly/benchmark_sh -o benchmark.sh

Usage

Run as root:

bash benchmark.sh

Unlock Geekbench using EMAIL and KEY:

bash benchmark.sh -e <Geekbench license email> -k <Geekbench license key>

Create GitHub gist with HTML results:

bash benchmark.sh -g <GitHub API token with scope gist>

Help:

bash benchmark.sh -h

Program Flow

• Check the requirements
• Download and build UnixBench
• Download Geekbench 5
• Get System info and versions
  • Hostename
  • Complete hardware
  • Kernel
  • Make
  • GCC
• Run bandwidth benchmarks
  • ping
  • traceroute
  • 100 MB download with curl
• Run I/O benchmarks
  • dd
  • IOPing
  • FIO
• Run SysBench
  • CPU
• Run UnixBench
  • The complete program! This takes a little longer.
• Run Geekbench 5
  • CPU
• Get uptime and load average
• Calculate the complete duration (runtime)

⚠️ Attention

This script generates a lot of load. Be aware of this. So you should just use the computer alone. Use at your own risk.
