Benchmarks

All benchmarks run by default. Use --skip-* to exclude.

CPU

Uses sysbench for prime number computation:

Mode	Configuration	Duration
Quick (`-q`)	1t + Nt, max-prime=10k	~15–30s
Default	1t + Nt, max-prime=20k	~30–60s
Full (`-f`)	1t + Nt, max-prime=50k	~60–120s

Scaling ratio shows multi-core utilization.

Memory

Sequential read/write throughput via sysbench (1M blocks):

Mode	Total Size
Quick (`-q`)	2 GB
Default	10 GB
Full (`-f`)	20 GB

Disk

dd with direct I/O, bypassing caching. Auto-scales when disk space is limited. IOPS calculated automatically.

Test	Block Size
1M Seq Write	1 MiB
1M Seq Read	1 MiB
4K Random Write	4 KiB
4K Random Read	4 KiB

Network

Multi-CDN download (best result reported), iperf3 upload, ICMP latency:

Measure	Method
Download	curl — Cloudflare, CacheFly, OVH, Tele2
Upload	iperf3 — he.net, online.net, scottlinux
Latency	ping — 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, cloudflare
IPv6	curl via IPv6 to Cloudflare
Packet Loss	ping to 1.1.1.1
Traceroute	hop count to 1.1.1.1

Geekbench 6

Auto-downloads Geekbench 6 CLI from cdn.geekbench.com and runs the full suite:

Metric	Description
Single-Core	25+ real-world workloads
Multi-Core	Same workloads, all cores simultaneously

Duration: 5–10 minutes
Architecture: x86_64 + ARM64
Results exported to JSON, parsed automatically

Advanced CPU

Multi-threaded sysbench at 1t, 2t, 4t, Nt levels + OpenSSL crypto throughput (AES-256-GCM, SHA-256).

Advanced Memory

Multi-block sysbench read test:

Block Size	Target
256B	L1 cache
4K	L2/L3 cache
64K	RAM bandwidth

Advanced Disk

Tool	Test
fio	Random 4K QD=32, 70/30 R/W, io_uring/libaio/psync auto-detect
ioping	Actual disk response time (ms)

Advanced Network

Test	Method
IPv6 Download	curl via IPv6 to Cloudflare
Packet Loss	ICMP ping to 1.1.1.1
Traceroute	Hop count to 1.1.1.1

Scoring

Weighted 100-point scale, normalized from 5 categories (25 pts max each):

Category	Baseline
CPU	100 events/s single-thread
Memory	2000 MiB/s read
Disk	500 MB/s avg (1M r/w)
Network	500 Mbps download
Geekbench 6	500 single-core score

Letter Grades

Score	Grade
97–100	A+
90–96	A
80–89	A-
70–79	B+
60–69	B
50–59	B-
40–49	C+
30–39	C
20–29	D
0–19	F

Installation

One-liner

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anjarman20/Hyper-Absolute-Benchmark-Script/main/habs.sh)

Manual

git clone https://github.com/anjarman20/Hyper-Absolute-Benchmark-Script.git
cd Hyper-Absolute-Benchmark-Script
chmod +x habs.sh
./habs.sh

System-wide

sudo curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anjarman20/Hyper-Absolute-Benchmark-Script/main/habs.sh -o /usr/local/bin/habs
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/habs
habs

Troubleshooting

Geekbench 6 fails

Ensure curl works and internet is available. Geekbench downloads ~100 MB. If scores show SC:0 / MC:0, Geekbench may be stuck waiting for upload — results are saved to JSON locally but may require the paid Pro version for offline use.

Dependencies won't install

Run as root or install manually:

apt-get install -y sysbench fio ioping iperf3 traceroute

Disk benchmark is slow

WSL2, containers, and network filesystems exhibit lower I/O. Run --full on bare metal.

Network test times out

Some providers block ICMP or CDN ranges. Use --skip-network or --quick.

JSON output is blank

./habs.sh --json 2>/dev/null | jq .

All messages go to stderr; stdout contains only JSON.
