RMAA suite is designed for testing quality of analog and digital paths of any audio devices, be it a sound card, an MP3 player, a consumer CD/DVD player or an acoustic set. The results are obtained by playing and recording test signals passed through the tested audio path by means of frequency analysis algorithms. A more common mark is also provided for those unfamiliar with measured technical parameters.
Before this test packet was created there was no proper software for measuring vital system parameters such as CPU/Chipset/RAM providing steady and reliable (reproducible) test results and allowing for changing test parameters in a wide range. Vital low-level system characteristics include latency and real RAM bandwidth, average/minimal latency of different cache levels and its associativity, real L1-L2 cache bandwidth and TLB levels specs. Besides, these aspects are usually not paid sufficient attention in product technical documentation (CPU or chipset). Such test suite, which combines a good deal of subsets aimed at measuring objective system characteristics, is a must have for estimating crucial objective platform parameters.
RM Gotcha helps CPU and mainboard testers determine CPU clock at any moment. RM Gotcha has only this particular purpose and is not a part of any monster suites. It's just an 120KB executable that needs no installation. Supports result logging. The "Start delay" feature enables users to conduct operations required to be done before the clock check. The Check period feature minimizes CPU load created by the utility.
D3DRightMark is an independent non-commercial open-source graphics card benchmarking project developed by iXBT.com. It's called to help users estimate graphics cards performance and quality in synthetic tests and real apps, e.g. games. Synthetic tests allow estimating performance and capabilities of separate graphics cards subsystems in order to forecast their behavior in either applications, both existing (that is overall estimation of suitability and prospects for an entire application range) and developing, provided that a given accelerator demonstrates peculiar behavior under such applications.
The CPU RightMark suite is meant for objective measurement of performance of modern and future processors in different computational tasks such as numerical modeling of physical processes and solving of 3D graphic problems. It focuses on testing the loaded FPU/SIMD units and the CPU/RAM tandem. As a result, we get pure CPU performance, an objective parameter obtained without the influence of other subsystems, like video and disc systems, except the memory one. It allows us to compare the true performance of different processors irrespective of a type of other system components. It's obtained by dealing only with the CPU and measuring the CPU time spent for execution of computational tasks.
RMClock (formerly known as AMD64CLK) is a simple GUI utility designed for realtime CPU frequency monitoring and realtime adjustment of the CPU multiplier (FID) and voltage level (VID) of the supported CPUs via processor's power management model specific registers (MSRs). In auto-management mode it continuously monitors the CPU usage level (reported by CPU itself) and adjusts the CPU frequency and/or voltage level as required
