This website is built with the Hugo static site generator. It's designed to work exclusively with the run-benchmarks.sh script, which runs benchmarks on a dedicated server with various GPU models.

How it works

Using the run-benchmarks.sh script, benchmark data is collected and saved to a single JSON file for each engine commit, with 4 runs:
- CPU (debug template)
- CPU (release template)
- GPU (AMD, release template)
- GPU (Intel, release template)
- GPU (NVIDIA, release template)
The produced results (as .json or .md) should be copied into the src-data/benchmarks folder.
The ./generate-content.py script produces .md files in the content folder, so that web pages can be generated for each graph and each benchmark.
Hugo is used to create a homepage listing recent benchmarked commits, plus a single page per engine commit. This allows linking to individual benchmarked commit in a future-proof way.
Plotly.js is used to draw graphs on the homepage.
Water.css is used to provide styling, including automatic dark theme support.

Building

Development

Create JSON data (using the run-benchmarks.sh script, as described above), or fetch existing JSON data from the live website:

git clone https://github.com/godotengine/godot-benchmarks-results.git src-data/benchmarks

Generate server files from the benchmarks:

python content.py

Now, you can run the server:

hugo server

Production

Follow the same steps as in the Development section above.
Run hugo --minify.
