I wanted to run some test to artificially load the CPU to generate heat for worse case temperature measurements. I there tried to use the Toradex Benchmarks Tests. when executing the command ./run_tests.sh I see the CPU is busy with something. However when I open the results log files (in the map “results” in my home folder) I get the message: “[PROBLEM] You must enter at least one test, suite, or result identifier to run”.
Also get a “[PROBLEM] … is not installed”, the dots indicating the specific test. Also executing “install_gtk_encode.sh” does not solve it.
Do I need to perform extra steps, that are not documented, to perform those test? is the Linux version incorrect?
FYI: In the main view I see that there is an answer posted on this topic. However when I go into it, I do not see the comment. I do not had this problem before or with other topic that I opened today. I use Chrome, but the same with Edge.
Unfortunately the benchmark tests script is not being actively maintained on the reference page you have linked to. I’ll add to our backlog to review it, but to enable you to run your tests independent of that, below are some remarks.
To load all CPU cores you can run stress:
stress --cpu 4
If you are using other HW units than CPU, you may wan to stress them as well together with the CPU, as it will generate more heat.
For GPU, one could use glmark. You can build it using OpenEmbedded. See the references:
For IPU and VPU, if it makes sense that you also need to account for heating generated by them, you may try to come up with a HW accelerated Gstreamer pipeline to e.g. encode video from a webcam and/or play an x264 econded video in a loop. See references:
p.s. in case you haven’t yet come across it, there are some references about thermal management and temperature monitoring that may be useful:
