GravityMark GPU Benchmark demonstrates the capabilities of modern GPUs by rendering an enormous quantity of objects in real-time, utilizing GPU acceleration. We avoid typical CPU-based performance bottlenecks by delegating the entirety of scene management and rendering steps exclusively to the GPU. Apple A14+ and M1+ SoC are recommended for great results. The following resources are used in the benchmark: NASA visible Earth database, GEBCO 2020 grid, the HYG star database archive, ESO / Serge Brunier The Milky Way panorama.

About

MLX Benchmarks

Features
Read full description

MLX Benchmark helps you understand how large language models perform on your hardware. Select a model and quantization, set context length and iterations, and run repeatable benchmarks that capture load time, tokenization time, time to first token, throughput, memory usage, and jitter. View detailed metrics grids, visualize comparisons in charts, and manage downloaded model repos directly in the app. Built for developers and AI enthusiasts who want clear, on-device performance insights without leaving their device. Features: - Model selection with quantization details - Configurable prompt, context length, and iterations - Metrics for load, tokenization, first-token latency, throughput, jitter, and memory - Charts to compare runs and devices - Downloaded model management (list, delete, refresh) - Optional Supabase upload for aggregating benchmark results
