New page

= LuxMark v4.x =

LuxMark is a OpenCL cross-platform benchmark tool and has become, over past years, one of the most used (if not the most used) OpenCL benchmark. It is intended as a promotional tool for [http://www.luxcorerender.org LuxCoreRender] and it is now based on [[LuxCore_API | LuxCore API]], the LuxCoreRender v2.x C++ or Python API available under Apache Licence v2.0 and freely usable in open source and commercial applications.

== Render engines ==

This release is based on [https://github.com/LuxCoreRender/LuxCore/releases/tag/luxcorerender_v2.2|LuxCoreRender v2.2] and includes benchmarks with the following rendering engines:

* A micro-kernel based OpenCL path tracer with/without Global Illumination cache;
* A C++ path tracer with/without Global Illumination cache;
* An hybrid OpenCL for GPUs and C++ for CPUs path tracer with/without Global Illumination cache;
* A C++ Bidirectional path tracer;

== Denoiser ==

LuxMark includes [https://github.com/OpenImageDenoise/oidn|Intel OpenImageDenoise]. A comparison between raw and denoised image is shown at the end of the benchmark or during the stress test. However Intel OpenImageDenoise is a CPU-only task and '''it is not part of the benchmark result'''.

== Stress mode ==

Aside from benchmarking modes, it is also available a stress mode to check the reliability of the hardware under heavy load. Hybrid OpenCL GPUs + C++ CPUs is well suited to put the maximum load possible on the system.

== Benchmark Result Validation ==

LuxMark includes a validation of the rendered image by using the same technology used for [http://pdiff.sourceforge.net pdiff] in order to check if the benchmarked result is valid or something has gone wrong. It has also a validation of the scene sources used (i.e. hash of scene files).

== Benchmark Scenes ==

3 brand new scenes are included. The simple benchmark is the usual ''"LuxBall HDR"'' (217K triangles):

<div align="center">[[Image:Luxmark01.jpg|640px]]</div>

The medium scene is the ''"Neumann TLM-102 Special Edition (with EA-4 shock mount)"'' (1769K traingles) designed by Vlad "SATtva" Miller (http://vladmiller.info/blog/index.php?comment=308):

<div align="center">[[Image:Luxmark02.jpg|640px]]</div>

The complex scene is the ''"Hotel Lobby"'' (4973K) designed by Peter "Piita" Sandbacka:

<div align="center">[[Image:Luxmark03.jpg|640px]]</div>

== Command line options ==

Usage: luxmark [options]
--help (display this help and exit)
--scene=LUXBALL_HDR|MICROPHONE|HOTEL (select the scene to use)
--mode=BENCHMARK_OCL_GPU|BENCHMARK_OCL_CPUGPU|BENCHMARK_OCL_CPU|BENCHMARK_NATIVE|STRESSTEST_OCL_GPU|
STRESSTEST_OCL_CPUGPU|STRESSTEST_OCL_CPU|DEMO_LUXVR|PAUSE (select the mode to use)
--single-run (run the benchmark, print the result to the stdout and exit)
--ext-info (print scene and image verification too with --single-run)
