Stress Test Tool Deployment

Introduction

Stress Test Tool is a tool for testing system performance, helping users evaluate the stability and responsiveness of the system under different loads.

Supported Platforms

Platform	Running Method
IQ9075	Ubuntu 24.04

Prerequisites

1. IQ9075 hardware

2. Ubuntu 24.04 system

System Dependency Configuration

Configure the AidLux Repository

# Download the correct public key
sudo wget -O- https://archive.aidlux.com/ubuntu24/public.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/private-aidlux.gpg > /dev/null

# Edit the source file
sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/private-aidlux.list

# Add the private key provided by AidLux to the source file
deb [arch=arm64 signed-by=/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/private-aidlux.gpg] https://archive.aidlux.com/ubuntu24 noble main

# Update the cache
sudo apt update

After the update, you can obtain the official AidLux SDK dependencies with the following command:

sudo apt list | grep aid | grep unknown

# Install software
# Must be installed first; not included with the system
sudo apt install python3 python3-pip libopencv-dev python3-opencv  net-tools
# Required before installing aidlite
sudo apt install aidlux-aistack-base aidrtcm

# Install aidlite and its dependencies
sudo apt install aid-lms aidlms-sdk aidlite-sdk cmake
sudo apt-get install libfmt-dev nlohmann-json3-dev
sudo apt install aidlite-*

# Enable DSP support
sudo apt-get install qcom-fastrpc1
sudo apt-get install qcom-fastrpc-dev

# Install the aidgen SDK
sudo apt install aidgen-qnn240-sdk

# Install the mms service
sudo apt install aid-mms

# Enable GPU support
sudo apt-add-repository -s ppa:ubuntu-qcom-iot/qcom-ppa
sudo apt install qcom-adreno-cl1
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libOpenCL.so.1 /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libOpenCL.so

After installation, check that the aidlite and aidgen directories have been added under /usr/local/share.

Device Authorization

Obtain the Device SN Code

cat  /sys/devices/soc0/serial_number

Obtain the License File

Provide the SN code to the Aplux technical staff to generate a device-specific License file, and place it under /etc/opt/aidlux/license/AidLuxLics.

Activate Authorization

sudo /opt/aidlux/cpf/aid-lms/manager.sh restart

Stress Test Tool Installation and Usage

sudo apt install stresstest-backend

After installation, you can start the Stress Test Tool with the following command:

# Start Stress Test Tool and set the CPU and NPU load to 50%. The 9075 does not currently support GPU stress testing.
StressTest --cpu-load 50 --npu-load 50

After startup, the system displays the current load:

========================================
  Stress Test Configuration
========================================
  CPU cores:         8
  CPU global load:   50%
  CPU effective loads: cpu0=50% cpu1=50% cpu2=50% cpu3=50% cpu4=50% cpu5=50% cpu6=50% cpu7=50%
  NPU devices:       2
    NPU[0] load=50% model=/usr/local/share/stress/qnn240/../npu.bin

  GPU devices:       0
  MEM load:          0%
  Monitor interval:  1 sec
  Duration:          0 sec (0=infinite)
  Print to terminal: OFF
  Save to CSV:       OFF
