DiscoMark Benchmark

Overview

DiscoMark Benchmark is a unique Android application that offers users a way to measure the launch speed of their apps under specific conditions, providing a comprehensive performance simulation.

Performance Simulation

Unlike many other benchmarking tools available for Android, DiscoMark Benchmark presents a unique feature that allows users to determine the launch speed of their apps under certain circumstances. The application allows users to create a performance simulation by selecting multiple installed apps and making them run concurrently for a predetermined number of cycles. This feature enables users to load a group of apps and observe their average launch times through several opening and closing cycles.

Detailed Results

Once the test concludes, DiscoMark Benchmark displays both the individual launch speeds and a consolidated average for all iterations. This feature is particularly beneficial for users testing to see if certain apps impede the performance of others in any way. The data provided gives a comprehensive insight into the app's performance, thereby allowing users to optimize their device usage accordingly.

Save and Export

Adding to its versatility, DiscoMark Benchmark saves all completed benchmarks and even offers the option to export these results in a CSV format. This feature facilitates easy data analysis and sharing between devices or peers.

Speed Test and Comparison

Interestingly, DiscoMark Benchmark also provides the capability to conduct a speed test on your device. The application compares a normalized launch time and the percentage of time that differentiates it from some of today's most popular brands. This option gives users a clear understanding of how their device's performance stacks up against popular models.

Conclusion

DiscoMark Benchmark is a standout among Android benchmarking tools. Its unique feature set, offering in-depth performance simulations, detailed results, and easy benchmark exportation, makes it a must-have for anyone keen on optimizing their device's app performance.

Pros

• Unique performance simulation feature
• Provides detailed individual and overall launch speeds
• Ability to save and export benchmarks in CSV format

Cons

• Requires user knowledge for effective utilization
• Performance may vary depending on device specifications

Android Nougat:

Thanks for using DiscoMark! As some of you have noticed, DiscoMark is broken for Android Nougat. This is not easily fixable, maybe not at all. See App description in the Play Store or the "Help/Welcome" dialog in the app for more explanation. Once we come up with a replacement (and/or fix) for DiscoMark, it will be announced on www.disco.ethz.ch. You can also send an e-mail to [email protected] so we can inform you directly when something new comes up. Cheers!
