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.

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 If you’re running [Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus)](https://www.ubuntu.com/) or later, including [Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)](https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features) and [Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseNotes), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go. For versions of Ubuntu between [14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustyTahr/ReleaseNotes) and [15.10 (Wily Werewolf)](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WilyWerewolf/ReleaseNotes), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include *snap* by default, *snap* can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for *snapd*. Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line: ``` sudo apt update sudo apt install snapd ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install TC Raytrace Benchmark To install TC Raytrace Benchmark, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install tc-raytrace-bench ``` ### 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?
