Project Crucible Raspberry Pi Benchmark Script

26 Aug 2020

element14 presents | AirborneSurfer's VCP Profile | Project Videos

This bash script runs as sudo, installs the sysbench application as its only dependency, and loops through three benchmarking tests giving an elapsed time and processor temperature for each test.

#!/bin/bash

[ "$(whoami)" == "root" ] || { echo "Must be run as sudo!"; exit 1; }

# Install sysbench if needed

if [ ! `which sysbench` ]; then
  apt-get install -y sysbench
