Is it normal for parser-125k Multicore score lower than Singlecore score? #12

CoreMark Pro Hynix

I run CoreMark Pro on Cygwin in Windows 11. When testing parser-125k multicore, I see that it didn't use all CPU threads like the other testing.

That's highly unusual. Do you observer the same poor scaling every run? Are each of the tests running for at least 10 seconds?

bongo01 commented 2 years ago

Yes, I observe the same poor scaling every run (around 4-5 runs) and also each of the tests running for at least 10 second. My CPU is AMD Ryzen 5800H

Ok. I found that parser-125k is normal when I run on Ubantu in VirtualBox. I ran "make TARGET=linux64 certify-all XCMD='-c16'" in both Cygwin and Ubantu. I can't run "make TARGET=cygwin certify-all XCMD='-c16'" because there is an error "cygwin.mak : No such file or directory".

Glad you solved the problem in Ubuntu. But running under a VM is not a good idea as you are subject to pre-emption at a higher level by the host OS.

How were you able to run under cygwin in your first comment, but cannot run under it now?
