`curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script/master/yabs.sh | bash`
This script has been tested on CentOS 7, CentOS 8, Debian 9, Debian 10, Fedora 30, Ubuntu 16.04, and Ubuntu 18.04. It is designed to not require any external dependencies to be installed nor elevated privileges.

### Skipping Tests
By default, the script runs all three tests described in the next section below. In the event that you wish to skip one or more of the tests, use the commands below:
```
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script/master/yabs.sh -o yabs.sh; chmod +x yabs.sh
./yabs.sh -{dig}
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/masonr/yet-another-bench-script/master/yabs.sh | bash -s -- -{fig}
```
* `-d` this option disables the dd (disk performance) test
* `-f`/`-d` this option disables the fio (disk performance) test
* `-i` this option disables the iperf (network performance) test
* `-g` this option disables the Geekbench (system performance) test
Options can be grouped together to skip multiple tests, i.e. `./yabs -dg` to skip the disk and system performance tests (effectively only testing network performance).
Options can be grouped together to skip multiple tests, i.e. `-fg` to skip the disk and system performance tests (effectively only testing network performance).
## Tests Conducted
* **dd** - the dd utility is utilized to test sequential write and read disk performance.
* **fio** - the most comprehensive I/O testing software available, fio grants the ability to evaluate disk performance in a variety of methods with a variety of options. Four random read and write fio disk tests are conducted as part of this script with 4k, 64k, 512k, and 1m block sizes. The tests are designed to evaluate disk throughput in near-real world (using random) scenarios with a 50/50 split (50% reads and 50% writes per test).
* **iperf3** - the industry standard for testing download and upload speeds to various locations. This script utilizes iperf3 with 8 parallel threads and tests both download and upload speeds. If an iperf server is busy after 10 tries, the speed test for that location/direction is skipped.
* **Geekbench 4** - Geekbench is a benchmarking program that measures system performance, which is widely used in the tech community. The web URL is displayed to be able to see complete test and individual benchmark results and allow comparison to other geekbench'd systems. The claim URL to add the Geekbench 4 result to your Geekbench profile is written to a file in the directory that this script is executed from.
### Note on Disk Performance Test
This script uses dd's sequential throughput test in order to test both write and read speeds to the disk. It is well known that sequential disk speeds are not necessarily indicative of actual, real-world performance. A superior method to testing disk performance using real-world scenarios is [fio (Flexible I/O Tester)](https://github.com/axboe/fio). Fio was not utilized within this script because the program needs to be compiled and installed on the user's system to run correctly, thus clashes with YABS' tenet to not require any dependencies (installed or compiled) or admin rights to run the script. The sequential dd tests are merely provided as a convienence for the end user.
### Security Notice
This script relies on two external binaries in order to complete the network and system performance tests. For the network test, an iperf3 binary and shared library are downloaded from the official source at iperf.fr. For the system test, a Geekbench 4 tarball is downloaded, extracted, and the resulting binary is run. The security risks of running these binaries are minimal, however, use this script at your own risk as you would with any script publicly available on the net.
This script relies on external binaries in order to complete the performance tests. The network (iperf3) and disk (fio) tests use binaries that are compiled by myself utilizing a [Holy Build Box](https://github.com/phusion/holy-build-box) compiliation environment to ensure binary portability. The reasons for doing this include ensuring standardized (parsable) output, allowing support of both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, bypassing the need for prerequisites to be compiled and/or installed, among other reasons. For the system test, a Geekbench 4 tarball is downloaded, extracted, and the resulting binary is run. Use this script at your own risk as you would with any script publicly available on the net. Additional information regarding the binaries, including compilation notes and steps, can be found in the bin directory's [README page](bin/README.md).

## Acknoledgements
This script was inspired by several great benchmarking scripts out there, including, but not limited to, [bench.sh](https://bench.sh/), [nench.sh](https://github.com/n-st/nench), [ServerBench](https://github.com/K4Y5/ServerBench), among others. Members of both the [HostBalls](https://hostballs.com) and [LowEndTalk](https://www.lowendtalk.com) hosting-related communities play a pivotal role in testing, evaluating, and shaping this script as it matures.
