GeekBench Workload Profiles

The following profiles run customer-representative or benchmarking scenarios using the GeekBench5 and GeekBench6 workloads.

PERF-CPU-GEEKBENCH5.json​

Runs a CPU-intensive workload using the GeekBench5 toolset to test the performance of the CPU across various types of common application algorithms (e.g. Gaussian Blur, AES-XTS, Text Compression, Image Compression). This profile is designed to identify general/broad regressions when compared against a baseline. GeekBench is an industry standard benchmarking toolset.

  • Workload Profile

  • Supported Platform/Architectures Note that GeekBench5 runs on linux-arm64 systems; however, to do so requires that the date be uploaded to Primate Labs' (the producer of GeekBench) data systems. We do not sanction or support uploading customer data to unexpected systems and thus do not support the use of GeekBench5 on linux-arm64 systems.

    • linux-x64
    • win-x64
    • win-arm64

  • Supports Disconnected Scenarios

    • Yes. When the GeekBench5 package is included in 'packages' directory of the Virtual Client.

  • Dependencies
    The dependencies defined in the 'Dependencies' section of the profile itself are required in order to run the workload operations effectively.

    • Internet connection.

    Additional information on components that exist within the 'Dependencies' section of the profile can be found in the following locations:

  • Profile Runtimes
    See the 'Metadata' section of the profile for estimated runtimes. These timings represent the length of time required to run a single round of profile actions. These timings can be used to determine minimum required runtimes for the Virtual Client in order to get results. These are often estimates based on the number of system cores.

  • Usage Examples
    The following section provides a few basic examples of how to use the workload profile. Additional usage examples can be found in the 'Usage Scenarios/Examples' link at the top.

    # Execute the workload profile
    VirtualClient.exe --profile=PERF-CPU-GEEKBENCH5.json --system=Demo --timeout=1440 --packageStore="{BlobConnectionString|SAS Uri}"

PERF-CPU-GEEKBENCH.json​

Runs a CPU-intensive workload using the GeekBench6 toolset to test the performance of the CPU across various types of common application algorithms (e.g. Background Blur, Navigation, Text Compression, Object Detection). This profile is designed to identify general/broad regressions when compared against a baseline. GeekBench is an industry standard benchmarking toolset.
