Hardware Optimisation & Benchmarking Shenanigans

Yes It’s CLI based, so end users should get a zip file with pretty much the following structure inside.

Images Folder
Benchmark.bat (contains all the script and code)
Settings.rcprog (contains variables required by the script to be used in the application/benchmark and makes no permanent changes)

Results.txt/csv (Created as the bat file is ran - this will need to be uploaded to the database)
CompletedBenchmarkScene.rcproj (created when benchmark finished)
.

I am exploring a different method also.  As cli does make things potentially tricky if using a the promo, however being able to control all the functions is very handy indeed.  It’s all work in progress.

Parsing the exported data is testing me as multiple hd’s/gfx cards/Cpus/ram sticks, can create extra lines and shift the results about so the results structure is a little dynamic depending on the system, so I need to figure that out.  As well as some pathing issues.

For the moment, the substages within each calculation are not recorded, however I am working on that.  However ultimately I think the required data can be extrapolated without those… I think… maybe…

Recording the % of CPU/Ram used as a timeline is possible, however it makes the results file huge & complex, as poling is required to be captured constantly throughout the process and whilst interesting you just get a list of 10000’s of numbers, you can get a better visual representation of what is being used at certain points by playing a game of watch the task manager :slight_smile:

:We do indeed need to be wary of not undertaking a PHD in image analysis. :slight_smile:

:Re the Promo/Demo question, If I recall It did not pose a problem for me when I tried last.  Things may have changed, so at your peril…
