  BenchRust v0.1.0 Release

  Overview

  BenchRust v0.1.0 is the initial release of a professional CPU benchmarking tool written in Rust. It combines scientific accuracy with a refreshingly honest approach to performance measurement.

  What's New

  This is the first stable release featuring:

  Core Features

  • Multi-workload CPU benchmarking with 6 different test types
  • Single-core and multi-core performance analysis
  • Statistical rigor with proper variance analysis and confidence metrics
  • Thread pinning support for consistent measurements
  • Beautiful terminal output with colored, formatted results
  • JSON export for automation and data analysis
  • Comprehensive CLI with helpful error messages and validation

  Benchmark Types

  • Integer Math - Pure integer arithmetic operations
  • Floating Point - IEEE 754 floating-point computations
  • Memory - Memory bandwidth and latency testing
  • Compute - CPU-intensive iterative calculations
  • Prime Numbers - Sieve of Eratosthenes implementation
  • Matrix Multiplication - Linear algebra operations

  Performance Analysis

  • Scaling efficiency measurements (speedup vs ideal)
  • Coefficient of variation analysis for result reliability
  • CPU performance ratings from "Beast Mode" to "Potato Quality"
  • Actionable optimization recommendations

  Installation

  Quick Install

  wget https://github.com/releases/benchrust-v0.1.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  tar -xzf benchrust-v0.1.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz
  cd benchrust-v0.1.0
  ./install.sh
  

  Manual Install

  Why BenchRust?

  Unlike other benchmarking tools that either oversimplify results or drown you in meaningless numbers, BenchRust provides:

  1. Honest Performance Assessment - No marketing fluff, just facts
  2. Statistical Validity - Proper sampling with confidence metrics
  3. Actionable Results - Tells you what the numbers actually mean
  4. Developer-Friendly - Built by developers, for developers
  5. Zero Bullshit - Refreshingly direct about what your hardware can do

  Known Issues

  • Math-int benchmark occasionally shows calculation overflow (cosmetic only)
  • High variance warnings on some workloads under heavy system load
  • Thread pinning requires appropriate permissions on some systems

  Roadmap

  Future releases may include:

  • GPU benchmarking support
  • Historical result tracking
  • Additional workload types
  • Windows and macOS binaries
  • Container deployment options
