vkmark is a Vulkan benchmarking suite built around targeted, configurable scenes that can be used to measure different aspects of Vulkan performance.
It lets you run the default benchmark set or define custom benchmark runs with scene-specific options, and it can automatically detect a suitable window system or use one selected explicitly from the command line.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Supports X11, Wayland, KMS, display, and headless window system backends.
- Lists available benchmark scenes and their accepted options from the command line.
- Lets you define benchmark order and option values with repeated benchmark specifications.
- Can list Vulkan physical devices and run benchmarks on a selected device.
- Uses the Meson build system and requires a C++17 compiler.
