Merging winrar, furmark, superpi to create something like 3dmark

post #1 of 23

Thread Starter 
Would it be possible to merge such programmes like 3dmark and furmark together to crete something like 3dmark?
Like make a script in C++ or somthing to run superpi 1m and 2m and seek out the time taken for the test, then opening furmark and run the test at a certain setting and seek that score. Do the same with a few more programmes and combine the scores with an equasion to create CPU and GPU mark. Sorry if it's badly explained but I was just wondering if it's possible with C++.

Thanks in adavance, sorry if it's the wrong section!

Well you are talking about making various applications talk to each other.

I'm not sure if you can access the memory locations of the programs using a program you've written or not. Theoretically I guess this is possible, I haven't programmed anything like that before.

However, I really have to question the time involved.

The time it takes to write this app, you could have manually checked and written down the settings for hundreds of runs of these apps.

3DMark is an entire program, and inside the program all the data is gathered and formatted so you can read it. Individual applications do this too, they give you data about whatever they are supposed to monitor or benchmark.

The difference is that an application that shows you information isn't necessarily set up to give that information out to other programs. Usually, a program that wants to communicate with other programs has an API (Application Programming Interface). This is a type of computer language that gives people a set of commands they can use to get programs talking to each other.

For example, you could use the 3DMark API to create an application that pulls the driver version from the 3DMark results. That's not a good example of something you might care to do, and 3DMark might not offer an API for people to use.

3DMark doesn't need to use an API because it is it's own program and contains all the data, it doesn't have to tell itself. Using all the other apps like you are looking to do would require an API for each of the apps in order for them to communicate with your program.

You might be able to read them from memory, but that seems like a lot of work.

I hope that helped.

Sounds like a simple batch file or vbscript. Is there a console version of superpi? I know you can call winrar.exe from the command line.

Furmark? Probably not, but I haven't read their whitepapers.

Furmark does have command line paramters.

One is to write the results to a file, which you could read into a program easily.

So, what kind of scripting language is needed to gather information from the command line and bring it into one to create cpu and gpu scores?
Like, I want to make somekind of app to automaticly run certain benchmark with API's or commands in the command line(sorry if I said it wrong) and make then give their resultes to a table(or whatever) and sort them out. After each value is sorted( superPi 1, 2m Furmark score, Winrar KB/s) it would group them and make an equasion or somthing to create a CPU and GPU score.
Could you do all this with C++ or would it take some pro's prgramming skills?
I'm trying to learn the language to write an app like this in for fun(no not school, I'm in 9th grade.)

It's really not that hard. I deal with c# code though, not c++. I'm too lazy to learn c and c++.

http://www.geeks3d.com/20081123/geek...ne-parameters/

Look up hyper pi. It calls superpi with many threads to use the whole cpu.

Here's c#...
Code:
ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(string filename, string arguments);
        // Redirect output so we can read it.
        info.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        //info.Arguments = TextBox1.Text;
        // To redirect, we must not use shell execute.
        info.UseShellExecute = false;

        // Create and execute the process.
        Process p = Process.Start(info);
        p.Start();

        // Send whatever was returned through the output to the client.

        Console.writeline(p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd());
Make sure you #include System.Diagnostics. ProcessStartInfo is System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartinfo()
Code:
using System.Diagnostics;
