How to do a GPU benchmark test

We will explain how you can test and compare the performance of our instance flavors. We will use an Ubuntu VM and test the GPU. You can repeat these tests on any similar platform and compare the results.

Other benchmarks

• CPU Benchmark
• Memory Benchmark
• Network Benchmark
• Disk Benchmark

GPU

We have a special flavor tier that offers GPU support using Nvidia GPU's

Geekbench 5 CUDA

Geekbench is also able to perform a CUDA benchmark. CUDA is a proprietary Nvidia product and generally has better performance.

Installation

wget https://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-5.4.1-Linux.tar.gz
tar -xzvf Geekbench-5.4.1-Linux.tar.gz
cd Geekbench-5.4.1-Linux

Running the test

./geekbench5 --compute CUDA

The test will show the results as well as a URL where these results can be found online.

Geekbench 5 OpenCL

Geekbench can do a compute test, by default it performs a benchmark of the open-source OpenCL subsystem.

Installation

wget https://cdn.geekbench.com/Geekbench-5.4.1-Linux.tar.gz
tar -xzvf Geekbench-5.4.1-Linux.tar.gz
cd Geekbench-5.4.1-Linux

Running the test

./geekbench5 --compute OpenCL

The test will show the results as well as a URL where these results can be found online.
