As for real experience. I tried vcmi (Heroes 3), and debian feels smoother than ubuntu.

[pbies]

I am getting constant 213 MB/s at most linear read from eMMC 64GB (Radxa=AllNet). Linear write NULs at 165 MB/s.

[pbies]

Just tested system on eMMC. Not much faster in use, but my tests give other info:

I am looking for a good script for testing and Benchmark.
Something That will give me a Nicely formatted output.
I have a Rockpi with 250 SSD,eMMc 32 meg, POE Hat.
I need Average TEMP,
The speed of disks, Voltage/Power Consumption, video performance

Thanks
pierre

[Dante4]

Install armbian,do armbianmonitor. For gpu do glmark2-es2.
You can’t measure Voltage/Power consumpition on any board (and computer as far as i know) without extra device

[NicoD]

Or SBC-Bench from Thomas Kaiser.

ThomasKaiser/sbc-bench

It runs many benchmark programs and gives a nice output file.

Has somebody done a comparision between the small heatsink, delivered with the Performance Set

Rock Pi 4 Model A 2GB - Basic Performance Set

and the big heatsink?

Official heatsink for ROCK Pi 4

Hi community Some users asked us how do we plan to deal with the heat dispatching. Here is what we’ve been working on, a dedicated heatsink for ROCK Pi 4. [IMG_1788_meitu_2] Paste some glue at the CPU square. [IMG_1796_meitu_3] Plug the eMMC module, ready to put the board on. [IMG_1797] Mount the board on [IMG_1784] The heatsink reserved the space for the M.2 extend board and eMMC module. [IMG_1789] With the heatsink, the ROCK Pi 4 Antutu score is more than 10,000

How great or small are the differences in temperature when idle and under full load?

[NicoD]

How great or small are the differences in temperature when idle and under full load?

Hi. I can tell you how it is with the small heatsink.
This just isn’t sufficient. It overheats immediatly without a fan.
Wth the big heatsink you can do normal tasks without a fan, but for heay load I’d still use a fan.
I still don’t have the big heatsink, I need to order one. I’ve got the NanoPi M4 with such a big heatsink, it’ a lot more useable since I don’t need a fan.

Temperatures

Debian armhf
No fan idle : 50°C
No fan max load : 85°C throttle keeps rising to +90°C
With fan idle : 37°C
With fan max load : 77°C

Ubuntu arm64
No fan idle : 56°C
No fan max load : 85°C throttle keeps rising to 95°C
With fan idle : 38°C
With fan max load : 83°C

[gufmar]

If have two boards, one with small one with big heatsink
The big heatsink’s mass acts in two ways: First like a capacity, to quickly absorb the generated heat and dissipate it with a time delay.
Second with a larger surface to the surrounding air.

This means in a pure passive setup it can help to go through longer peak phases, and also give off more energy to the surrounding air. It depends on the surrounding air temperature, humidity and airflow for how long this works, without CPU throttling.

The small cooler should work fine with a solid active fan, or in aircooled invironments with some “natural” airflow and only sporadic short CPU spikes.

[Dante4]

Just look a bit up (just a bit before ask), i typed full set of tests about this.

[MX_Master]

Browser (Firefox and Chromium) testing and glmark2-es2.

Thanks for the detailed tests. It’s really help to understand the difference compared with other boards.

Can you make one more test to check WebGL performance in Firefox and Chrome? There are two most popular pages for this:

1. https://webglsamples.org/aquarium/aquarium.html
2. https://threejs.org/examples/#webgl_decals

It’s very interesting what FPS rates you’ll see there
If WebGL support is disabled in the browser, you can easily enable it:

• for Firefox - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqdMzHSSIZ0
• for Chrome - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nz_HgqzmRkQ

And thanks for your work. We appreciate it.

Ubuntu
(ATTENTION: Testing was done on custom build xserver from rockchip with this merge request and with modesetting.conf)

Ubuntu

Chrome detected ARM Mali-T860. Started with taskset -c 4-5 (flags in spoiler at the end)

On 30000 - 1-2 fps
threejs - 9 fps when i throw paint ball, 30 fps otherwise

Firefox don’t have egl without rebuilding it from the scratch, so it’s use VMware. If i try to use gl4es it’s just fails to detect WebGL.

I’ve changed the script used to test write speed. Added “progress” and “direct”.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo === WRITE 1GiB ===
echo -n "sync..." ; sync ; echo "ok"
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Since i finally got my SATA board i was able to perform some testing. First i wanna mention - heatsink that on this board is ONE HELL OF HOT. Don’t touch it. I mean that.

So there is result for sda (that’s 4 same HDD, so result for one should be sufficient for 3 others) and raid5 with same HDDs. Tests was done with 128mb and 1 GB file. Read as

Tests from PC (using samba). Iozone is broken for windows. At some point i got 1505124
kbytes/s as WRITE speed. That’s x1.5 MORE than bandwidth of channel between PC and rockpi. On 2nd pass different between numbers was around 14 times. So i did not used iozone for windows to test this setup. Instead i used CrystalMark and manually transferring files

td;lr. Basically, the only real difference in performance between raid5 and just 4 disks is Random Write performance. And network basically annihilate this difference because.

Testing Penta Sata HAT

For USB 3.0 PC and Sata PC I used CrystalDiskMark 7.0.0h x64, for USB 3.0 Rock and Penta SATA HAT I used FIO 3.19 (cloned and compiled on Rock from git). In all tests taken medium out of 4 results. The following command was used for FIO.
For seq read and write:
> /usr/local/bin/fio --loops=4 --size={512m;1G;4G} --filename=/mnt/flash//test.tmp --stonewall --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --name=Seqread --bs=4m --rw=read --name=Seqwrite --bs=4m --rw=write

For 512k read/write:
> /usr/local/bin/fio --loops=4 --size=4000m --filename=/mnt/flash//test.tmp --stonewall --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --name=512Kread --bs=512k --rw=randread --name=512Kwrite --bs=512k --rw=randwrite

For 4k read/write:
> /usr/local/bin/fio --loops=4 --size={512m;1G;4G} --filename=/mnt/flash//test.tmp --stonewall --ioengine=libaio --direct=1 --name=4kQD32read --bs=4k --iodepth=32 --rw=randread --name=4kQD32write --bs=4k --iodepth=32 --rw=randwrite

For testing i’ve used HDD x1, SSD x1 and 1 Raid5 x1 (which have 4 drives, that will be added a bit later)

Rock Pi X

My first advise - turn off F*****G windows defender. It’s like he always eat 1 core just for himself.
How-To-Turn-It-Off, only method 2 and 3 is perma solution to this:
https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/how_to_turn_on_or_off_windows_defender_real_time_protection.html

My second advise. As for 19.09.2020 - be sure to update Broadcom driver (to version 1.596.33.0), because latest Windows 10 goes BSOD with old version.

Benchmarks:
Cinebench R15:
CPU - 86-103cb
OpenGL - 8.75 fps

Video capability. Tested in Windows 10, with PotPlayer and latest K-lite codec pack
x264 8bit - hardware acceleration is working as expected
x264 10bit - hardware acceleration is working as expected (video with ~6800 kb/s bit rate takes ~50% GPU and 12% CPU)
x265 8bit - hardware acceleration is working as unexpected (video with 20mbps bit rate takes ~50% GPU and 12% CPU)
x265 10bit - Welp. Here we go. Hardware acceleration for this one is a bit too new from out precious Atom chip. 20 mbps is no-no. 10 mbps is barely ok (strange thing that Kimetsu no Yaiba in x265 almost watchable, but tests video are all 17-19 fps)

Youtube - on first open it’s a bit slow

Hello friends, can you send a download link for ‘XF86-Video-Armsoc’, I don’t seem to find in the Rockchip-Linux repository.
