Cairo Performance Demos

The cairo-demos test is a benchmark of Cairo using a collection of Cairo demos created by Chris Wilson at Intel OSTC. This test profile tests Cairo's Xlib back-end (others could be supported upon request) expecting an existing Cairo installation on the test system. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
