NAME¶

glmark2-es2-drm - OpenGL (ES) 2.0 benchmark suite

SYNOPSIS¶

glmark2-es2-drm [options]

DESCRIPTION¶

glmark2-es2-drm is a benchmark for OpenGL (ES) 2.0. It only uses the subset of the OpenGL 2.0 API that is compatible with OpenGL ES 2.0.

OPTIONS¶

-b, --benchmark BENCH

A benchmark to run: 'scene(:opt1=val1)*' (the option can be used multiple times)

-f, --benchmark-file FILE

Load benchmarks to run from a file containing a list of benchmark descriptions (one per line) (the option can be used multiple times)

--validate

Run a quick output validation test instead of running the benchmarks

--data-path PATH

Path to glmark2 models, shaders and textures

--frame-end METHOD

How to end a frame [default,none,swap,finish,readpixels]

--swap-mode MODE

How to swap a frame, all modes supported only in the DRM flavor, 'fifo' available in all flavors to force vsync [default,immediate,mailbox,fifo]

--off-screen

Render to an off-screen surface

--visual-config

The visual configuration to use for the rendering target: ´red=R:green=G:blue=B:alpha=A:buffer=BUF'. The parameters may be defined in any order, and any omitted parameters assume a default value of '1'

--reuse-context

Use a single context for all scenes (by default, each scene gets its own context)

-s, --size WxH

Size of the output window (default: 800x600)

--fullscreen

Run in fullscreen mode (equivalent to --size -1x-1)

-l, --list-scenes

Display information about the available scenes and their options

--show-all-options

Show all scene option values used for benchmarks (only explicitly set options are shown by default)

--run-forever

Run indefinitely, looping from the last benchmark back to the first

--annotate

Annotate the benchmarks with on-screen information (same as -b :show-fps=true:title=#info#)

-d, --debug

Display debug messages

--version

Display program version

-h, --help

Display help

BENCHMARKS¶

glmark2-es2-drm offers a suite of scenes that can be used to measure many aspects of OpenGL (ES) 2.0 performance. The way in which each scene is rendered is configurable through a set of options. To get the available scenes and their acceptable options you can use the -l, --list-scenes command line option.

In glmark2-es2-drm, a benchmark is defined as a scene plus a set of option values. You can specify the list and order of the benchmarks to run by using the -b, --benchmark command line option (possibly multiple times). If no benchmarks are specified, a default set of benchmarks is used. If a benchmark option is not specified it assumes its default value (listed with -l, --list-scenes).

As a special case, a benchmark description string is allowed to not contain a scene name (i.e. to start with ':'). In this case, any specified option values are used as the default values for benchmarks following this description string.

EXAMPLES¶

To run the default benchmarks:

To run a benchmark using scene 'shading' with a 'duration' of '5.0' seconds and
'shading' of type 'phong':

To run a series of benchmarks use the -b, --benchmark command line option multiple times:

To set default option values for benchmarks:
