Download SiSoftware Sandra Lite 31.119 Download

SiSoftware Sandra (System Analyser, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant) is an information and diagnostic tool. It should provide most of the information (including undocumented) you need to know about the hardware, software, and other devices, whether hardware or software. Sandra is a (girl) name of Greek origin meaning “defender”, “humanity’s helper”. We think that is quite appropriate.

It works in line with other Windows tools, but it tries to go beyond them and show you more of what’s really going on. Gives the user the opportunity to draw comparisons at both a high and a low level. You can get information about CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card, memory, network, Windows embedded, AGP, PCI, PCIe, ODBC connections, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.

• Benchmark UI Change: Select Multi-Threading, Multi-Core, Single-Thread

Although it was always possible in Sandra to disable hyper-threading (HT) to use only physical cores/modules or to disable multi-core (MC) to use only sockets/packages or only 1 thread – using Options – certain we to make it easier to use.

So now you can test either MT, MC, ST – which can be useful on processors that use Turbo/dynamic overclocking and can increase fewer threads to higher speeds.

You can also run on all APs (application processors) – but not the BSP (boot processor, aka thread 0) just in case the BSP causes AP threads to wait until it finishes and thus delay the completion of the test (even now some problematic systems).

Single thread will use an AP, not BSP, as BSP is usually loaded with other tasks (eg interrupts).

Note: Sandra uses its own scheduler – thus does not depend on Windows to schedule the threads on a specific socket/core (and perhaps park the rest). NUMA is also fully supported and the correct NUMA node will be chosen as appropriate for the package/kernel the thread will be running on.

What is new

Benchmark support, updates and fixes

• GP-GPU processing OpenCL Benchmark: fixed kernel bug on most GP-GPUs. Bug discovered by Mark Poppin.
• CPU Scientific Benchmark: greatly improved AVX512 GEMM (SGEMM, DGEMM) performance using the larger 48kB L1D cache (on RKL and ICL-SP) and better prefetching. [note AVX2/FMA3 performance is also improved to some extent]
• CPU Inter-Thread Efficiency Benchmark: reasonably improved AVX512 inter-thread transfers using larger transfer blocks that take advantage of the larger 48kB L1D cache (on RKL and ICL-SP). [note AVX2/FMA3 performance is also improved to some extent]
• Memory Bandwidth Benchmark: modestly improved AVX512 bandwidth transfer using the larger 48kB L1D buffer (on RKL and ICL-SP) and smarter prefetching. [note AVX2/FMA3 performance is also improved to some extent]
• Multi-Core Efficiency Benchmark: renamed “Inter-Thread Efficiency” Benchmark as it now measures and displays inter-thread/core/module (CCX)/node (die)/package (socket) thread latencies.
• Inter-Thread Efficiency Benchmark: enabled 512-bit/AVX512 inter-thread transfers for higher bandwidth utilization.
• Inter-Thread Efficiency Benchmark: reduce the latency reported to just one of those
• All CPU references: extended CPU microcode version from 2 digits to 8 digits (i.e. MC-–<8V>).
• All GP-GPU benchmarks: latest nVidia runtime (v456+ CUDA/OpenCL) now includes company name in device name resulting in duplicate company name (eg “nVidia NVIDIA 2080Ti”) which is quite ugly.

See our article Processor Multi-Core Efficiency: Inter-Thread Latency & Bandwidth Benchmarking for an in-depth look at the benchmark and an example of the results from a modern processor.
