A Free Tool to Examine Your Computer’s CPU and GPU

CompuBench is a professional OpenCL benchmark that helps examine and compare computing performance of accelerators, GPUs, and CPUs of desktop computers. The app’s Info tab lets you review your device’s compute and hardware-related capabilities.

Holistic Testing

CompuBench CL helps assess the performance traits of a Mac’s hardware, particularly the parallel computing capacity of your Mac’s graphics card and processor. Also, the tool’s benchmark utility comprises a series of checks organized into several groups: physics, computer vision, graphics, throughput and video processing.The computer vision functionality offers tests such as TV-L1 optical flow and face detection. Face detection is Viola-Jones algorithm-based. It’s primarily used in digital image processing and biometrics to ascertain sizes and locations of digital human faces.

Customized Benchmarking

The tool lets you carry out all benchmark exams or just the ones you’re interested in. The dense motion vector computation test, which employs the variation technique, is primarily used to compress video and enhance video quality. Ocean Surface Simulation, another test, is used widely in engineering, science and mathematics. The graphics card testing is done using a path tracer, which has a dynamically updated global illumination and acceleration structure. As far as video processing goes, the tool employs a test that emulates a standard video composition pipeline with different effects. Simultaneously, your Mac’s integer performance is examined using the Bitcoin algorithm.
