synology package for bencmarking CPU

Hi there,

 

I have a 2 synology boxes and 1 xpenology.
I am wondering if any of you has a package or knows a package to benchmark CPU. 

The closes thing I have from that is in this post : https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=93106

But it is not really a benchmark tool as it only test on one core...

 

The goal (especially for xpenology) would be to know which box is the best in transcoding videos.

 

Please do not tell me to go to cpubenchmark website as all soft we are using on xpenology are hacks, I would prefer directly testing the hacks. (example: I am using a xeon processor s771 into a mobo s775 with a hardware hack)

 

Cheers

A faster CPU is going to transcode faster than a slower CPU,  unless the slower CPU has hardware acceleration like Quicksync, AND you have software that will use it.

 

So despite your reluctance to use PassMark or other CPU benchmark site, you will only confirm what is already known.  If you must test yourself, you should use a standardized transcoding workload.  Pick a file to transcode and run it on each of the platforms.  If you are using Synology Videostation for transcoding, you'll probably have to test it with a stopwatch and the GUI.  If you are using Plex, just use the installed ffmpeg and transcode your standard workload from the command line.

 

Again, from a ranking standpoint, you won't get any different results than a pure CPU benchmark unless you have hardware transcoding capability, are running the DS916+ image, and your transcoding software is able to take advantage of that (Synology Videostation or Plex Pass).

Hi Flyride and thanks for your reply.

It is not the reply I was expecting as I was looking for a package to install to run a benchmark test. :-)

I totally understand your answer, but I suspect my hardware settings is not running my CPU the way it should, that's why I wanted to run my own test. You know you can slowdown (or overclock) a CPU and that is another reason why I wanted to do a benchmark.

the fps= show your FPS. so there is your practical Benchmark.

 

Or if you use Handbrake in a Docker...

(not the same settings...)

 

 

So yeah, why would you need Benchmarking apps when you can check the speed in the Programm you want to use?
