The executed kernel is customized on a range of different operational intensity values. Modern GPUs are able to hide memory latency by switching execution to threads able to perform compute operations. Using this tool one can assess the practical optimum balance in both types of operations for a compute device. CUDA, HIP, OpenCL and SYCL implementations have been developed, targeting GPUs, or OpenMP when using a CPU as a target. ### Package name * mixbench --- ### License * GPL-2.0 --- ### Last updated * 28 February 2025 - latest/stable * 27 February 2025 - latest/candidate --- ### Websites * [github.com/ekondis/mixbench](https://github.com/ekondis/mixbench "https://github.com/ekondis/mixbench") --- ### Contact * [github.com/pedro-avalos/mixbench/issues](https://github.com/pedro-avalos/mixbench/issues "https://github.com/pedro-avalos/mixbench/issues") --- ### Source code * [github.com/ekondis/mixbench](https://github.com/ekondis/mixbench "https://github.com/ekondis/mixbench") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/pedro-avalos/mixbench/issues](https://github.com/pedro-avalos/mixbench/issues "https://github.com/pedro-avalos/mixbench/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/mixbench/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Mixbench Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Mixbench To install Mixbench, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install mixbench ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
