Options for benchmarking

Mother Device w/Microchip

• This software could run on a mother device e.g. Raspberry Pi. lb would then have a benchmark written (by you or maybe you get lucky and find one) for a specific chip under test (CUT) or a device under test (DUT).
• Note: The benchmark written should be placed in the platform/benchmarks folder and follow the benchmark creation rules (need to be written – see examples in the python/benchmarks folder for now).

Benchmarking Single Board Computer

• Right now the software is written in Python, so as long as the device is running Linux and has Python installed, you could fire benchmarks off using lb run MyBenchmark.

Goal

• Build a framework that makes microchip and Single Board Computer (SBC) benchmarking easier.
• Benchmark agnostic
• Support as many devices and platforms as possible.

Inspiration

• Phoronix Test Suite (PTS) for PC benchmarking
• This Sparkfun article. Although, work had already started on lb prior to the article.
