nschloe / stressberry Goto Github PK

Hi,

luckily I found your stresstest script, looks amazing! Well, first run is done after setting it up according to your guide.

But when it comes to creating the plot with "stressberry-plot out.dat -o out.png", I get:

pi@raspberry:~$ stressberry-plot out.dat -o out.png
Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused
Unable to init server: Verbindung ist gescheitert:Connection refused

Do you have any idea on where to start?

Noticed that the latest version has broken the --delta-t option to plot ambient temperatures. Suspect this is caused when removing use of numpy in #66 which intended to lighten dependencies, even though numpy is used by matplot so is already an inherited dependency for the project.
I'll investigate and see if there is a fix which doesn't require numpy.

Hi,
I'm trying to get stressberry run on a Pi4 with a fresh Raspbian OS install.
I'm sure we need more details in the readme file

sudo apt install stress => OK
pip install stressberry => OK, no error to report

tried to follow many posts from this github like install libatlas-base-dev

pip3 install stressberry

stressberry-run out.dat
Awaiting stable baseline temperature...
Current temperature: 51.1°C - Previous temperature: 52.1°C

Seems to work...

If pip3 is the one to use, should be added to readme instead of pip
not sure about path, dependencies to install as well...

That would be great to have clear steps to follow starting from a fresh official install.

I have limited knowledge of linux and I'm not sure how to fix this error, I already have a plot file with the out data which i got from the first command . Thanks for all your help this is a great little project.

Hi, Is it possible to modify stressberry to increase maximum speed from 1500Mhz to 2147Mhz
I have overclocked my raspberry pi 4 and have good cooling, i would be interested to see what temps
i get when running at 2147Mhz.

Im using the Pi 4 4GB with no overvolting or overclocking in this case. I'm not using any active cooling, it is purely passively cooled. The case cools the power management chip, the USB controller and the SoC itself. It is delivered with a small bag of thermal paste, which I'm using for all 3 of those chips.

These are the results of the stock run:

Just for fun I also tried overclocking to 2147 MHz CPU and 750 MHz GPU using over_voltage=6
These are the results:

Here are the log files for both runs:
StressBerryResults.zip

I followed the instructions... sorta ;-) I created a virtualenv and then followed instructions. This did not go well for me. I saw all the errors described in issue #42. I believe this is due to me using:

pip3 install stressberry --user

I also needed some packages to be installed and https://www.instructables.com/id/Stress-Testing-the-Raspberry-Pi/ was a good resource for me.

Once I removed the --user flag (in a new virtualenv) all was good. Not sure if this will help everyone but jotting down what I found.

After figuring out how to get the 0.3.1 stressberry version working on my Pi (hint: "pip3 install stressberry"), I've got my tests done and here they are.

The case is made of acrylic with openings that help the air flows through. The heatsinks are common but the main chip heatsink is flat.

And the tests...

FYI: I choose the Case+Heatsinks+Fan(Push-in) system for daily use.

Here are the results for the "Black Armour" heatsink case with fans, as sold by "PbTech" in New Zealand.
Note: this case is similar, but not identical to the Hex Wrench Case.

Stressberry was run on a 4GB Pi4 in an environment of 30C.
Both wifi and ethernet were connected, and the Pi was driven from the official Pi4 power supply.

out.txt

Hi there,
I have used Stressberry for testing heatsinks on raspberry pi 4, but I have run in some trouble while trying to plot data. To be specific I had trouble removing data labels.
I don't know if this problem is standard or I have done something wrong but I fixed my problem by changing some code in plot.py file from code.
Please let me know if this problem is specific to me or is this some fault in code.
I can send a changed code if you want.

Test conditions

• Raspberry Pi 4 8G was fitted with a set of 4 minimalistic aluminium heatskins (1).
• Fan: recycled (from old desktop case) 8 cm model running at 5V using an external Multi Voltage Power Adapter (2).
• Case: OKdo ABS plastic with top cover removed (3).
• Room temperature while running the test was: 16º Celsius.
• Raspberry Pi was overclocked at 2000MHZ with overvoltage of 3.

Test results

Set-up

Sidenote 1: Fan is pulling the air out.
Sidenote 2: Ugly green foam under case serves to dampen/reduce the noise/vibrations from the fan.
Sidenote 3: Flash enhanced dust courtesy of 6 months of use.

I've installed both but I just get an error. So it's more then just install two things apperently.

This is what I got:

I've installed various python dependencies and everything I could find from topics on this and I still can't get stressberry to install, what amI missing?

The install and run instructions are

[sudo] apt install stress
pip install stressberry (Use pip3 install to be safe)
stressberry-run out.dat
-bash: stressberry-run: command not found

but stressberry-run is not in the current PATH. It looks like stressberry-run is in ~/.local/bin

$ sudo find / -name stressberry-run -print
/home/pi/.local/bin/stressberry-run

I installed stressberry as said but i cant run it

This is an aluminium case that has a removable top.

Tests were made with a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B Rev 1.4 with 8GB RAM.

The tests were taken using Ubuntu Mate 20.10, installed via PINN with this Kernel:
Linux rpi4 5.8.0-1006-raspi #9-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 16 12:55:30 UTC 2020 aarch64 arch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

With the core working at 1.5 GHz.

For the tests, Linux was initialized it in console mode, in order to prevent any interferences from GUI apps. Network was also disabled.

Before doing the temperature tests, stressberry was run once, just in order to heat the cabinet to its usual temperature.

Then, two tests were done:

1. With the top closed

2. With the top opened

Test results:

neo-tests.zip

When I installed as per the guidance (on a Pi4 with Buster full version), this message came up in yellow:

The scripts stressberry-plot and stressberry-run are installed in '/home/pi/.local/bin' which is not on PATH.
  Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location.

I don't really know what that wants me to do, so I continued. Now when I try the command, I get:
-bash: stressberry-plot: command not found

I find that stressberry is installed to:
/home/pi/.local/bin

So I tried running it from there and still no joy. I tried installing with a different command (sudo -H pip3 install stressberry) and got a bit further, but still not running:
stressberry-plot: error: argument infiles: can't open 'out.dat': [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'out.dat'

I then try creating an empty out.dat file and tried again. Now I get:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo MPLBACKEND=Agg stressberry-plot out.dat

I've gone as far as my limited Linux abilities will allow me to get, so I'm here asking for help. The instructions seem very clear and straight forward, but it just won't seem to work for me.

I was initially using Raspbian Lite but changed to the full version in case some kind of dependency is missing - but still no joy. FYI I'm using SSH from my PC to do this.

CooliPi-passive.zip

Hi,

the length of the test (5 minutes ?) is way too short. It takes half an hour for the temperature to settle. See https://www.coolipi.com/Performance.html
I also miss ambient temperature, because you can't make a fair comparison if you don't know it.

Mine was 25.5-26 degC. Raspberry Pi 4 model B. Overclocked to 1850MHz, over_voltage=2
GPU wasn't intentionally overclocked. Monitor - 1920x1200 via HDMI.

The best stress test isn't stress or stress-ng, but linpack. At least for Raspberry Pi 4.

I've also noticed different cooling performance with a monitor connected and then without a monitor. 4K monitor would make the device heat up even more.

So I suggest you also require these metadata.

CooliPi 4B is primarily a passive heatsink with a case, this setup is mainly for industrial users and for overclockers.

Best Regards.

Got a RPi4 a few weeks ago and have been tweaking and setting it up ever since. I had my eye on the Argon One case for it, and it just arrived today.

The case has an aluminum top plate that directly connects to the chips on the board, similar to the well-known Flirc case. It also has an active fan in it.

This board will be used as a retro gaming setup with RetroArch, and I wanted to overclock it to eke out the maximum performance in early 3D platforms like PlayStation, N64, and Dreamcast. The Pi CPU is overclocked to 1950 MHz. (The GPU and 3D blocks are overclocked as well, but I don't think it matters for this test.)

Anyway, I'm very pleased with the results. Even with an aggressive overclock, it keeps things very cool!

Results file, as TXT since GitHub won't allow me to upload it directly as DAT: out2.txt

My Setup
Dual fan heatsink with MX-4 for the CPU an additional smaller copper heatink on the ram and thermal pads to make up the hight to the main heatsink. PoE pins removed for space and a thin thermal pad on the Wifi chip to help hold down the large heatsink....any maybe cool the wifi chip

RPI_4_Heat sink with fan off and ON .zip

Fan Off peaks at 62°C and Fans ON peaked at 42°C
Very quite fans not scilent , but measured at 33db from 6" away.

Shell output after 150s idle phase (RPi 3b, no overclock, clean Buster without any tweaks etc.)

Hi Martin, would you add my data, please?

Ambient temperature (Measured with DHT22) = 24.70°C

I made a combination of aluminum heatsink, with a 5.8v - 30x30mm fan attached to the heatsink, and it works GREAT!

I thought I'd return to benchmarking and show some results regarding the FLIRC case.

These results are for a Raspberry Pi 4B with 4GB RAM, using the FLIRC case. The setup is pictured below:

This results in the following temperature graph, which has a peak temperature of 51.0 °C and idle temperature of 37.0 °C:

The raw results for the graph can be found in the following out.txt file.

Tried to generate plot file, to see the curve and compare data.

I am running my raspberry pi in minimal mode, so no GUI or others. What packages do I need to install?

I submit you my own data for displaying this on your project page. It's about a Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB with actual firmware/eeprom in a "Joy-It" aluminium case. On the top side are small holes for airflow, but without a fan the temperature raises up to over 80°C in stressberry test!
I add a small (30x30 mm) fan 5V (also usable with 3.3V) under the top cover for blowing cool air into the case and over the Raspberry Pi board (and ARM cpu). I use the 3V3 and ground pins from the Pi for a low noise operating, because the small fan is too loud at 5V!
With default clocking (arm/gpu@1500/500MHz) the temperatures raises only up to ~53°C with stressberry-test. At arm/gpu@1800/600MHz with a little but noticeable performance boost the temperatures raises up to ~60°C. Not bad at all for a low cost solution :)

Some other data:

• original Raspberry Pi power supply 5.1V/3A
• Raspbian Buster with 64bit kernel installed
• Joy-It aluminium case for round about 12 €
• "PiFan" 30x30 mm fan 5V (also for 3.3V) for round about 3 €

When I used pip to install stressberry I got an issue returned that stressberry needs python3.
So I tried to install stressberry with pip3 instead and it got installed without the issue.

Installed stressberry using pip3 install -U stressberry and tried to run it for the first time. Got that error.

Full error message:

Hey there,
I did a bunch of tests using the Ice Tower Low Profile version Cooler.
IceTowerResults.zip

I did tests without the Fan, with the Fan and also swapped the included Fan for a Noctua Fan. I also tested the Overclocking capabilities of this cooler.

For the Overclocks I used these settings:

Firmware:

BOOTLOADER: up-to-date
CURRENT: Tue 10 Sep 10:41:50 UTC 2019 (1568112110)
 LATEST: Tue 10 Sep 10:41:50 UTC 2019 (1568112110)
VL805: up-to-date
CURRENT: 000137ab
 LATEST: 000137ab

First of looking at the passive capabilities, you can see that Even a hefty overclock to 2147MHz is doable, though I am not quite sure if it has stabilised in 5 minutes.

Then comparing the 2 used fans one can see that the Noctua is about 1-2 °C cooler but I think it also spins faster.

Then here is a graph with all the results with the Noctua fan:

And lastly I swapped the included thermal pad for some thermal grease which especially gave a big boost in performance for the 2.147GHz overclock.

I am not sure how much of this you would want to include in README?

Based on what I've seen here in the issues and what I have faced, it would be just plain easier to handle all possible cases by just adding add_subplot(1,1,1) or something instead of add_subplot() without any args

Thanks for the test tools!

I noticed that the hex wrench case wasn't making good contact with the thermal material provided. I added a 1mm copper shim and used Arctic Sliver 5 thermal paste with this case. It made a huge difference, about 20*C vs the tests on #45 .

Here are my results with the Hex Wrench case:

out.dat.txt

I realize the existing data is for 5 mins but from reading a bunch of articles on Raspberry Pi testing it looks like 10 mins is considered a good minimum (I've seen some use 20).

The results are definitely different and more telling when I run my tests with -d 600

I ran your script against the new RPI 400 keyboard computer, as shipped.

I'm using a Raspberry Pi 4 2Gb running Retropie 4.6.6 (Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster))

I'm using RPi 4B (with 4GB memory) embedded in the Smraza case with active cooling (fan on HIGH 5V pin).

I made stress tests for the base 1.5GHz and overclocked to 2.15GHz with over_voltage=6 and arm_freq=2147. I was initially a bit pessimistic about the case, but it looks like it did a pretty decent job in keeping the cpu below ~60-65°C.

PS. I had to use the --cooldown 10 for the overclocked case, as otherwise it wasn't getting within the default 0.2 °C range within 60 seconds (and also-i 60 because I was rushing :)). Just in case I'm attaching the .dat files for both cases data.zip.

PPS. Thanks for the tool!

My new KKSB case soaked up the CPU heat pretty well and the large case area forwarded the heat into the air through convection. No fan in sight, it appears to stay near 60 degrees C, no clock throttling detected.

I'm having trouble plotting data while running on the raspberry pi 4 itself, command line. (Raspbian 10 buster).

Any idea what might be wrong here?

I thought I'd share some results, seen as I came across this project while finding a way to test the cooling of my Pi's new case.

These results are for a Raspberry Pi 3B+, using a FLIRC case, with a SanDisk Ultra Fit 128 GB USB 3.1 pen drive attached. The Pi had been left idle for a long time before the test, so the idle temperature is reasonable. The setup is pictured below:

This results in the following temperature graph, which has a peak temperature of 60.148 °C and idle temperature of 44.008 °C:

The previous case a simple acrylic case anecdotally had a resting temperature of around 52 °C, but I didn't test this before attaching the new case. The raw results for the graph can be found in the following out.txt file.

CooliPi-fan_on.zip

Hi,

the length of the test (5 minutes ?) is way too short. It takes half an hour for the temperature to settle. See https://www.coolipi.com/Performance.html
I also miss ambient temperature, because you can't make a fair comparison if you don't know it.

Mine was 25.5-26 degC. Raspberry Pi 4 model B. Overclocked to 1850MHz, over_voltage=2
GPU wasn't intentionally overclocked. Monitor - 1920x1200 via HDMI.

The best stress test isn't stress or stress-ng, but linpack. At least for Raspberry Pi 4.

I've also noticed different cooling performance with a monitor connected and then without a monitor. 4K monitor would make the device heat up even more.

So I suggest you also require these metadata.

CooliPi 4B is primarily a passive heatsink with a case, this setup is mainly for industrial users and for overclockers.

Best Regards.

Hi there!

I tried installing and running as you suggested, on RPi 3B+ on the latest distro.
I got the following error:

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THIS FOR ADVICE ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE!

Importing the numpy c-extensions failed.
- Try uninstalling and reinstalling numpy.
- If you have already done that, then:
  1. Check that you expected to use Python3.5 from "/usr/bin/python3",
     and that you have no directories in your PATH or PYTHONPATH that can
     interfere with the Python and numpy version "1.17.0" you're trying to use.
  2. If (1) looks fine, you can open a new issue at
     https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues.  Please include details on:
     - how you installed Python
     - how you installed numpy
     - your operating system
     - whether or not you have multiple versions of Python installed
     - if you built from source, your compiler versions and ideally a build log

- If you're working with a numpy git repository, try `git clean -xdf`
  (removes all files not under version control) and rebuild numpy.

Note: this error has many possible causes, so please don't comment on
an existing issue about this - open a new one instead.

Original error was: libf77blas.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

On searching further, I found this thread - Kitt-AI/snowboy#262

where the solution was to install

sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev

I did that and was able to run stressberry-run successfully,.

I don't know if you need to update your instructions, or if it is a peculiarity with my setup.

Thanks,
Sridhar

So this is happening, first install and attempted run. Halp pls. KTHXBYE.

As we can see in here the problem is that it just calls vcgencmd

File "/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/stressberry/main.py", line 37, in measure_temp
    out = subprocess.check_output(["vcgencmd", "measure_temp"]).decode("utf-8")

So it would be better to change it to a full path

out = subprocess.check_output(["/opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd", "measure_temp"]).decode("utf-8")

After doing grep -rn vcgencmd /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/stressberry/* to see where else it needs to change

/usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/stressberry/main.py:51: out = subprocess.check_output(["vcgencmd", "measure_clock arm"]).decode("utf-8")

And do the same, change vcgencmd to the full path.

This apparently works. Will report back if I find any other issues.

Done on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Archlinux ARM.

Hell, Thanks for the test suite

Here are my results with the Hex Wrench case:

It is used on a JETBOT car running with a RPI4 and Google Coral stick for TensorFlow object avoidance Machine Learning. Take note that I used the test to make sure that my GPIO fed 5 Volts supply was OK == So far, so good.

stressberry-run imports matplotlib and numpy - even though they are not used.

On some distributions, those libraries may not be available. Can these be made optional or only for stressberry-plot?
