RealSR-NCNN

RealSR-NCNN is an NCNN neural network implementation of the RealSR project and accelerated using the Vulkan API. RealSR is the Real-World Super Resolution via Kernel Estimation and Noise Injection. NCNN is a high performance neural network inference framework optimized for mobile and other platforms developed by Tencent. This test profile times how long it takes to increase the resolution of a sample image by a scale of 4x with Vulkan.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark realsr-ncnn.

Performance Metrics

Analyze Test Configuration:

RealSR-NCNN 20200818

Scale: 4x - TAA: No

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 1,035 public results since 24 September 2020 with the latest data as of 17 December 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.
