vkpeak

Vkpeak is a Vulkan compute benchmark inspired by OpenCL's clpeak. Vkpeak provides Vulkan compute performance measurements for FP16 / FP32 / FP64 / INT16 / INT32 scalar and vec4 performance.

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

fp32-scalar

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 179 public results since 22 November 2024 with the latest data as of 16 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.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (vkpeak 20240505 - fp32-scalar) has an average run-time of 6 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.
