Benchmark (.NET 8)

• A C# console program displays system specs then lets you run benchmarks on your system.
• This program will attempt to get your CPU,RAM & GPU specs.
• You can run a Hashing benchmark with MD5, SHA256 and SHA512.
• Or an intensive CPU benchmark.
• Or an encrypt/decrypt benchmark (May need admin privileges)
• Using BenchmarkDotNet , SharpDX, NvAPIWrapper and Hardware.info

Maintenance

CI/CD & CodeQL

Getting Started

• Install .NET 8 SDK from here
• Open the solution and set as startup project
• Run the benchmark in Release mode.
• Check your if system specs is correct
• Y to continue
• Use 1, 2 or 3 to select which benchmarks to run
• Use 4 to run all benchmarks
• For VSCode you will need to install the C# extention for vscode
• For VSCode you also need to create launch.JSON and task.JSON files if you want to run in different configurations.
• If not you can use the provided JSON files.

Running on OSX

• Install .NET 8 SDK for macOS from here
• Open the solution and set as startup project.
• Run the benchmark in Release mode.
• If the app is terminated, open Benchmark.sln or csproj in terminal.
• Or cd into the Benchmark folder and run dotnet run -c Release

Running the EXE

• Open the solution with preferred IDE
• Set the startup project to Benchmark
• Build with dotnet build -c Release
• Publish with dotnet publish -c Release
• Run Benchmark.exe in the C:\Users\<Path to project>\Benchmark\bin\Release\net8.0\publish\ folder.

Required SDKs

• .NET 8.0.2 from here

Debugging

• Set a breakpoint anywhere.
• Run the program in Debug mode.
• Use option 5 to start debugging.
• Select the benchmark you want to debug.
• The program will pause at the breakpoint.

Output

Windows 11	MacOS Ventura

• Scroll down to see results.
• Runtime in seconds(s) should be the benchmark.
• Global Runtime in seconds(s) can also be the benchmark.
• There might be a 20 seconds delay on first use due to hardware detection by Hardware.Info.
