#### TC Raytrace Benchmark - Multi-Core & Single-Core 3D CPU Raytracer

TC Raytrace Benchmark is a native Linux 3D CPU raytracing benchmark and multi-core scaling analyzer built by TC Studio.

Key Features:

* Genuine Tile-Based 3D CPU Raytracer: Renders reflective chrome, metallic, and diffuse spheres over a 3D checkerboard ground plane with directional shadows, Blinn-Phong specular highlights, recursive reflections, and sky gradient shading.
* Progressive Live Tile Viewport: Renders spiral-ordered tiles onto a live canvas with active worker tile brackets, ray throughput telemetry (KRays/s), and PNG frame export.
* Single-Core & Multi-Core Modes: Evaluates Single-Core (1 worker process) and Multi-Core (multiprocessing across all logical CPU threads) rendering performance, computing real pts scores, render duration, and MP Ratio speedup.
* Core Scaling & Hardware Telemetry: Runs multi-thread scaling sweeps and monitors real-time per-thread CPU utilization, clock frequencies, thermal zones, and cache topology from Linux /proc and /sys interfaces, with CSV, JSON, and TXT export.

An independent Linux alternative inspired by Cinebench for evaluating single-core and multi-core 3D CPU rendering performance on Linux workstations and laptops.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install TC Raytrace Benchmark

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

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
