Been looking for some good Bioinformatics benchmark tools to test on varies PCs and came across this one. The original BioBench was introduced in 2005. The new BioBench2 updated most of the individual tests and is kept up to date, relatively speaking.
To run the test, you need either
A) Windows 10 Linux Sub-system () You will need to install several packages and dependencies first, like peryl and R.
OR
B) A linux system
Do not run this in Virtual Machine as it will not accurately reflect the performance of your PC.
Biobench 1 paper:
https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/1430554
Biobench 2 Github: (Download it as zip file)
https://github.com/reiverjohn/biobench2
Use the ReadMe to see how to run it. Ignore the Blast nt database part as that requires downloading of an additional 20GB of DNA sequences from NCBI which I assume most of you are not interested in doing.
MAKE SURE TO RUN THESE BEFORE INSTALL!!!
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install build-essential
For consistency reasons I propose we are use Ubuntu 18.04, either stand-alone or Win10 sub-system.
The benchmark will repeat itself 3 times. Afterwards the results will be output to a CSV file. Take average of your individual tests and then sum all. The lower the value the faster your system is.
I ran mine on the hard drive where I have my linux system installed so that may have slowed down some of the tests. Either way give it a try, IF you are bored and wanna see how your PC would serve as a workstation for a bioinformatics scientist.
Here is my result:
Well happy bench-marking! (Or not!)
