Sentient Native Benchmark (Military Grade)

A hyper-optimized, standalone native system benchmarking tool engineered in Rust. Originally designed to bypass the limitations of browser sandboxes, this engine interacts directly with the Windows kernel to stress-test your hardware from every conceivable angle.

🚀 Features

The engine features 8 distinct hardware-abuse modules:

1. CPU ALU (Multi-threaded): Integer addition and bit-shifting across all logical cores.
2. CPU FPU (Multi-threaded): Floating-point matrix math to stress SIMD instruction pipelines.
3. Cryptographic Engine: SHA-256 hash generation pipelines.
4. Memory Bandwidth: Direct gigabyte-level RAM allocations and zero-copy reads/writes.
5. Parallel Cache Sorting: Sorts 10 million random integers simultaneously to test L2/L3 cache coherence and branch prediction.
6. Sequential Disk I/O: Reading and writing massive 500MB payload files.
7. Random IOPS File Swarm: Aggressively creates, writes, reads, and deletes up to 10,000 individual files to expose filesystem and SSD metadata controller overhead.
8. TCP Network Latency: Opens raw TCP connections to reliable endpoints (e.g., Cloudflare/Google DNS) to measure raw network latency.

📦 Portable Distribution (No Installation Required)

If you just want to benchmark a machine without installing any programming tools, use the portable release!

1. Navigate to the Portable_Benchmark/ folder.
2. Double-click Run.bat.
3. Choose your Swarm Configuration mode (Safe or Extreme).
4. The standalone sentient_bench.exe will execute natively and automatically generate report.csv, report.json, and report.txt in the same directory.

⚠️ WARNING: The Extreme File Swarm module (10,000 files) will intentionally consume 100% of your disk I/O. It is normal for the Windows OS to freeze for up to an hour during this test. Use the "Deactivated" or "Custom" mode if you do not want to freeze your machine.

🛠️ Building from Source

If you want to modify the engine or compile it from source:

Prerequisites

• Rust & Cargo (Automatically installed via SENTIENT_BOOT.bat if missing).

Sentient Bootstrapper

This project includes a Sentient Architecture bootstrapper that acts as a diagnostic doctor and self-healing build system.

1. Run SENTIENT_BOOT.bat from the root directory.
2. Select [1] to run the hardware diagnostic doctor.
3. Select [2] to compile and execute the benchmark. The system will automatically catch any compilation crashes, clear corrupt caches, and retry safely.

Manual Build

cd sentient_bench
cargo build --release

The optimized executable will be located at target/release/sentient_bench.exe.

📊 Live Telemetry Export

Every time the benchmark runs, it automatically serializes the data without blocking the main execution thread. You will receive:

• report.txt: A human-readable text summary of the operational modules and aggregate score.
• report.csv: A raw data matrix for importing into Excel or graphing tools.
• report.json: A deeply nested data structure perfect for web API integrations or automation pipelines.
