Description

RandMem benchmark carries out eight tests at increasing data sizes to produce data transfer rates in MBytes Per Second from caches and memory. Serial and random address selections are employed, using the same program structure, with read and read/write tests for 32 bit integers and 64 bit floating point numbers. The C/C++ program structure is as follows with array xi indexing via sequential or random numbers stored in the array.

Read - toti = toti & xi[xi[i+0]] | xi[xi[i+2] & xi[xi[i+4]] |& to i+30
Read/write - xi[xi[i+2]] = xi[xi[i+0]]; repeated to i+30 and i+28     

The main purpose is to demonstrate performance differences between sequential and random access when using the same CPU instructions, particularly the impact of burst reading (and writing) over a bus. In this case, with random access, 32 bytes or more will be read when only four are requested. (see also BusSpd2K - link below) Random speeds are also affected by lower level cache sizes.

A pre-compiled version of the benchmark can be found in RandMem.zip which also contains the source code, providing further explanatory comments. Information on maximum speeds when different processing is involved can be obtained from BusSpd2K results.htm and SSE3DNow results.htm . A version to test two CPUs is also available (See DualCore.htm, Win64.htm and Below). Latest version is for up to 8 cores or hyperthreads (see Quad Core 8 Thread.htm and later details. Then there is My Main Page for other PC benchmarks and results.

Following is an example output for a 3.0 Ghz Pentium 4E. Variations in performance identify L1 and L2 cache sizes, but it should be noted that speed can be slower than normal when data size equals cache size.

A second example probably represents the best performance that could be expected on a May 2014 desktop, assuming no overclocking.

Maximum speed 800 MHz x 2 DDR x 8 bus width x 4 channels = 51.2 GB/sec
Multiple cores need to be used for a higher throughput from RAM 


To Start


The benchmark has also been ported to 32-Bit and 64-Bit Linux using the supplied GCC compiler (all free software) - see linux benchmarks.htm, and download benchmark execution files, source code, compile and run instructions in memory_benchmarks.tar.gz. Using Windows the file downloaded wrongly as .tar.tar but is fine when renamed .tar.gz. See Linux results below.

There is now a version to run on Android based tablets and phones, using a subset of the standard program functions. See Android Benchmarks.htm and results below.

Results

Separate tables of speeds obtained via L1 cache, L2 cache and RAM are given below. Except when connected via the memory bus, performance via caches tends to be proportional to CPU MHz for a given type of processor. So, only a sample of results are provided. Details of cache sizes, speed and range of CPU MHz can be found in CPUSpeed.htm.

L1 Cache Results - The results show that Pentium 4 CPUs can produce faster data transfer rates than AMD processors of the same MHz on serial and random integer reading tests, but they perform much worse with reading/writing. Core 2 Duo is the best overall. To clarify the results, the table includes instructions/byte ratios that can be used to convert MBytes/second to Millions of Instructions Per Second (MIPS). These have been used to produce the example %MIPS/MHz figures shown. Note that serial and random speeds are generally similar on L1 cache.

L2 Cache Results - Results provided are fastest serial speeds and random speeds at 96 KB. The latter decreases with increased memory demands and depends on L1 cache size to some extent. Again example %MIPS/MHz calculations are given, showing that both Intel P4 and AMD CPUs can be faster on some of the tests but Core 2 Duo is better than both.

RAM Results - This shows maximum serial speeds and random access performance at 6144 KB (6 MB). An indication of the type and speed of RAM is also shown. Best performance on sequential operation is shared between Pentium 4 and Pentium 4E, with Pentium M being best on random access. AMD CPUs show improvements over Integer Serial Read speeds on the other test but only the Athlon 64 provides reasonable comparative performance across the board. The latest results are for Core 2 Duo, showing some excellent and some poor speeds. The latter might be due to the nForce 570 chipset used. Later results via Intel 965 chipset confirmed this suspicion.

RAM Random Access Results - As random access speeds tend to reduce with increased data size, results are given here for the first random reading test at 1.5 to 96 MB. L2 cache sizes are also included to show that larger caches generally produce better performance. The impact of reading a burst of data is reflected by the relative good performance of Pentium III CPUs. These have 32 byte bursts compared with 64 or more on the other CPUs. AMD Athlons have greater reductions in speed at the higher data sizes.

Linux Results

Below are sample speeds via 32-Bit and 64-Bit versions of Ubuntu Linux. In both cases, 32 bit integers are used. There are some noticeable variations that indicate any could be shown as having the best performance.

The 32 bit version was also run using 64-Bit Ubuntu, where speeds were similar to those via the 32-Bit system. The exception was at the large memory sizes, where random access speeds were as slow as the 64 bit benchmark results.

Android Results

Some processors do not appear to run at the specified MHz and, in all cases, results from RAM are slow compared with PCs. See Android Benchmarks32.htm

Later benchmarks were produced that can use ARM or Intel Native code, particularly to measure performance of Android devices using Intel Atom CPUs. The original benchmarks will run on the Atom systems but, via a code conversion layer. Old and new results are provided below and further details can be found in New Results. Note Atom improved performance using Native Intel code.

The program format was also compiled to run on a Windows based tablet, using Intel processors (later compiler release than earlier PC versions). This benchmark was also run on a desktop PC. Results for these are included below, with details in New Results.

Dual Core Results

Programs RandMP64 and RandMP32 in DualCore.zip are compiled to run via Win64 and Win32, both manipulating 32 bit integers via C. The tests are run firstly as a single thread and secondly using two threads at the same priority level. There are four tests, Serial Read (RD), Serial Read/Write (RW), Random Read and Random Read/Write. The following is an example of log file results. Results below also include 64 bit scores on a Core 2 Duo via 64 bit Windows Vista and a Turion 64 X2 via 32 bit Vista, then 64-Bit Windows 7 on a Phenom II X4 and a Core i7.

With two threads, each has its own code and use the same data but the second thread starts at the half way point. Each has the same number of repeat passes where variations in the time taken are reflected in the relative speeds of the two threads. Running two threads on a single CPU produces the same sort of total speed as the single thread. With two CPUs, the speed of read only is mainly around double that of a single thread but speed via caches with read/write can be worse than for a single thread (or a single CPU). This can be put down to Windows flushing caches to maintain data coherency when sharing the same data array. Note that Hyper-Threading (HT) can produce performance gains with two threads.

Below are available single and dual processor results for data in L1 Cache   L2 Cache and RAM.

Eight Thread Benchmark

Rand8Thread32 and Rand8Thread64, compiled for 32 bit and 64 bit Windows, use the same 32 bit integer addressing tests as RandMP, but run via 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 threads. The benchmarks were produced particularly for Core i7 processors that have 4 cores but properties show 8 CPUs due to the availability of Hyperthreading. For further information on these and other eight thread benchmarks see Quad Core 8 Thread.htm.

There are four tests, Serial Read (RD), Serial Read/Write (RW), Random Read and Random Read/Write and each test is run using memory demands between 6 KB and 96 MB to cover all cache sizes and RAM. Below is are detailed results on a Core i7 930 processor. For these versions, a simple sum of data transfer speed is provided at each thread size to indicate total throughput. Later summaries for Quad Core 32 bits,   Quad Core 64 bits,   Dual Core 32 bits and Dual Core 64 bits provide just overall totals derived using harmonic mean, more suitable when considering tests that might finish at different times.

The RD and RW program loops manipulate 512 words, with 32 bit and 64 bit compilations using the same type of machine code instructions. RD uses 3 MOV and 1 AND, loading data, plus 1 OR using registers, per four words. RW uses 3 MOV, loading words and 1 MOV saving results. This means that RD speed in Millions of Instructions Per Second (MIPS) can be calculate as results in MBytes per second divided by 3.2 and RW MB/second by 4.0. Serial and random tests use the same code functions, the variety depending on the data used.

This benchmark uses data from the same array for all threads, but starting at different points. As with the dual core version, with RW and particularly random, flushing dedicated caches, to maintain data coherency, leads to reduced performance using more than one thread. Here, speed using shared L2 or L3 cache can be faster than using L1 cache. With a large L3 cache and multiple threads, some might be sharing cached data at 96 MB (like 8 each accessing 12 MB). Then measured performance can be faster than theoretical maximum memory speed.

Results in MBytes/Second 32 Bit Version - Quad Core Processors

For these and later results, data sizes are 6 KB for L1 cache, 96 KB for L2 cache, 1536 KB for L3 cache (where appropriate) and 96 MB for RAM. Also, in all cases, performance gains on using 2, 4, 6 and 8 threads are also shown.

Hyperthreading does not appear to improve throughput much on the faster reading speeds but the one shown might be running at 3060 MHz on using one or two cores and 2800 MHz when four CPUs are in use. The exception is reading from RAM which is slow and CPU speed limited using one thread. The four core Phenom comes out slightly faster on reading from caches, but is much slower on other tests.
