In the first article, I introduced the virtualization technology and the virtual machine software involved in the evaluation. The second article will introduce the evaluation software one by one. For this evaluation, the editor also made a wide range of research. At the beginning, he decided to use only pcmark7 as the test software. Later, after instruction, he gave up the first test data, select more testing software and more extensive testing objects ......

WinRAR

The first software is the most common WinRAR. As a veteran compression software, WinRAR has a high compression rate, good user reputation, and deep love of most ITER/diyer.

WinRAR's performance test is to compress and decompress files and perform other cyclic tests. Finally, a test value is provided.

WinRAR supports multi-threaded operations, so it was successfully listed in this evaluation software.

Cinebench

Cinebench is a super Pi, 3 dmark, pcmark, a very convincing set of CPU/graphics card testing system.

The version used in this test is the latest version r11.5.

Cinema 4D special effect software engine developed for the film and television industry can be used to test the performance of CPU and video cards.

The test includes two performance indicators for the processor and video card respectively.

The CPU test is to use the CPU to render a high-precision 3D scene image. It runs on a single-core and single-threaded basis. In multi-core and multi-threaded scenarios, only one thread is used for the first time, the second time I used all the processor cores and threads.

Graphics card testing is a test of graphics card OpenGL Performance.

Crystaldiskmark

Crystaldiskmark is a software used to test hard disk I/O.

Test the random 4 K read/write performance of the hard disk in the random state, continuous read/write state, random 512 K, random 4 K, and queue depth of 32.

This test is performed five times. The sample size of the test data is MB.

Super pi

Super pi is a software designed for detecting CPU stability. It enables high CPU load by calculating the circumference rate to test the CPU computing capability and stability.

This test uses 16 m operation parameters for testing.

Wprime

Wprime is a software that tests the computer's computing capability by calculating the prime number. It supports eight threads and is more accurate than super PI in parallel processing testing.

This test uses the wprime 32 m test parameters.

Sisoftware Sandra

Sisoftware Sandra is a powerful system analysis and evaluation tool with over 30 testing projects, including CPU, encryption and decryption performance, hard disk benchmark, file system, CD/DVD, and ,. NET performance, Java performance, and other tests.

Because the VM graphics card used in the test has poor support for DX9 dx10 OpenGL, in this test, only the following test items provided by sisoftware Sandra are tested:

Arithmetic Processor

Multimedia Processor

Encryption/Decryption Performance

Multi-core Efficiency

Physical hard disk (test read performance only)

File System

Memory bandwidth

Memory latency

The version used in this test is sisoftware Sandra 2013 lite.

Pcmark 7

Pcmark7, as a PC performance testing software launched by futremark, is naturally one of the testing software.

In this test, the system overall performance, common usage performance, and hardware component performance provided by pcmark7 are used to test the Virtual Machine System.

The above three tests have a total of 25 load projects. Let's take a look at them:

Computing load

1. Data decryption

This project is included in the Web browsing and decryption load. The software calls the Windows cryptography API to decrypt and verify a set of Preset data. After the data is decoded, split into 1 MB blocks. This part runs in a single thread.

2. Video Playback

This project is to test whether the system can smoothly play HD videos without dropping frames. The test will use Media Foundation to play a 1080 p, 30fps, 10 Mbps H. 264 format video. Use the built-in video decoder in windows.

3. Video Transcoding

In the video transcoding test, a 1080 p, 30fps, and 12mbps H.264 video is converted into pixels, frames, and bit rates. transcoding uses the fast transcode Technology in the Windows 7 Media Foundation.

The test includes two sub-items: Video Transcoding-downscaling and high-quality video transcoding (Video Transcoding-high quality). Video Compression converts the original video to a resolution of 320x240, which is 30fps, kbps H. 264 video, high-quality transcoding is to convert the original video into a 1080 p, 24 FPS, 10 Mbps H. 264 videos.

4. Image Processing

This load uses Windows imaging component to process high-resolution photos and simulates daily image processing operations such as color correction, size adjustment, flip, and rotation.

Storage Load

1. Windows Defender

This load uses Windows Defender to quickly scan the system. The software will record the activity of the system disk from the start of Windows Defender scan to the end.

2. Import images

This load will simulate the use of a USB flash drive to import 68 images 434mb to Windows photo gallery. It will record the hard drive activity when Windows photo gallery starts copying images to all thumbnails.

3. Video Editing

The Load Simulation edits a home video from a set of recordings, where the video source is recorded by Sony HDR-HC3, in 1080i MPEG-2 format, and is edited using Windows Movie Maker. Record the disk activity from video editing to output file completion.

4. Windows Media Center

The load simulation computer is equipped with a dual-channel video capture card, recording a video with Windows Media Center and playing it again, the software records the hard drive activity in this case for 4 minutes.

5. add music

This load is used to simulate copying a large number of WMA music files from another hard disk. When Windows Media Player imports these files into the music library, the records are recorded starting from the file import, until the Windows Media Player prompts that the import is complete.

6. Start the application

In this load, the software simulates double-click to start the instructions of pcmark 7, and then starts the IE browser from the desktop toolbar, recording the hard drive activity from the double-click to the opening of both software.

7. Games

This load is based on the Yamaguchi (everyone knows) game as the test object, recording the hard drive activity when players log on to the game role when they can move.

Application Load

1. text editing

The server Load balancer uses a WordPad to search for and replace a specified document, and records the time required to complete the operation.

2. Web browsing

Use IE to open a specified page with three tags and record the time required for loading and rendering the page.

2.1 Open the following three websites for the office test:

Www.futuremark.com

Service.futuremark.com/hardware/

Store.futuremark.com/shop/

2.2 Open the following three URLs for the entertainment test:

Www.yougamers.com

Www.shatteredhorizon.com

Stats.shatteredhorizon.com/stats/leaderboards.action

DX9 graphic Testing

DX9 uses firefly in 3dmark06 for graphic testing. To test the performance of the video card DX9.

Dx10 graphic Testing

Dx10 graph testing uses six scenarios in feature test in 3 dmark vantage.

This test uses pcmark 7 and uses all test items as test parameters.

3 dmark 06

You may wonder why you don't need to test it with 3 dmark Vantage or 3 dmark11.

Here, the editor should explain that the main reason is that the graphics cards of virtual machines basically do not support dx10 and dx11. What's more, DX9 is not supported.

During the editor's test, the following prompt is displayed:

3 dmark 11 and 3 dmark 06

Therefore, the old 3 dmark 06 was used to test DX9 performance.

Follow the Convention to introduce 3 dmark 06

3 dmark 06 also tests the CPU. In this regard, the CPU tests the physx physical database, and adds the simulation physical engine computing and AI computing; this test is closer to the role played by the CPU in a real game. In terms of Video Card Testing, sm2.0, sm3.0, and HDR are all tested.
