How Google creates these benchmarks
Performance benchmarks are created with PerfKitBenchmarker on Compute Engine VMs. For optimal parallelization, the benchmarks are run specifying a number of threads equal to the number of vCPUs on each machine type. As a standard option in CoreMark, network sockets are used for parallelization. For each test of a VM, CoreMark runs five times and the first of those runs is dropped from the results.
These benchmarks are run on Ubuntu images. Public images are updated regularly and can result in some changes over time.
You can reproduce these runs using the following command:
./pkb --cloud=GCP \
--benchmarks=coremark \
--machine_type=n1-standard-2 \
--gcp_min_cpu_platform=cascadelake \
--os_type=ubuntu2204 \
--run_stage_iterations=5 \
--zone=us-east1-b
You can change the machine type and zone as necessary.
