Tests & Benchmarks

From LuxRender Wiki

This resource is intended to help developers while checking if a new build has introduced some regression bug and to keep track of how the performances change between different releases.

Tests

Mandatory

The tests listed here are mandatory before any commit to the CVS.

Cornell

Both the fullcornell-metropolis.lxs and fullcornell-path.lxs scenes are available in the CVS/testsuite/mandatory directory.

The rendering result of fullcornell-metropolis.lxs or fullcornell-path.lxs is:

Optional

The tests listed here are not mandatory before a CVS commit but they can be useful to do some more check.

Suzanne

The rendering result of suzanne.lxs is:

Luxball

The rendering result of luxball.lxs is:

Benchmarks

The rendering time of some benchmark scene is listed here in order to have a base reference for comparing the performances of different versions/hardware/etc.

Luxbench (Cornell-metropolis scene)

The scene is included as mandatory test in the CVS or available for download here.

How to run the benchmark

Just render the scene with luxconsole or luxrender and annotate the value of the Samples/totsec statistic after 2 minutes. In the case of network rendering you need to use a longer time (something like 10 - 20 minutes should work fine).

Single machine results

Multiple machine results (network rendering)
