• Or a single thread and multi thread benchmark.
• Or a encrypt/decrypt benchmark (May need admin privileges)
• Using BenchmarkDotNet , SharpDX, NvAPIWrapper and Hardware.info

Maintenance

CI/CD & CodeQL

Getting Started

• Open the solution and set as startup project
• Run the benchmark in Release mode.
• Check your if system specs is correct
• Y to continue
• Use 1, 2 or 3 to select which benchmarks to run
• Use 4 to run all benchmarks
• For VSCode you will need to install the C# extention for vscode
• For VSCode you also need to create launch.JSON and task.JSON files if you want to run in different configurations.
• If not you can use the provided JSON files.

Running on OSX
