What you see in the portal
SiliconMark opens on the Overview tab after you sign in. Overview lists your recent jobs (name, date, which test ran, status) with a fleet summary on the right. Devices is the inventory of GPUs SiliconMark has measured. All Benchmarks is the full job history. Performance points out GPUs that look slow compared with expected results. A job shows as Created while it waits for the agent, then In Progress, then Completed. The GPUs Performance panel on the right counts your devices and sorts them into Optimal, Acceptable, and Underperforming, with a count per GPU model underneath. These tiers compare each device with other SiliconMark runs of the same GPU model. A device is Optimal when all five numbers sit clearly above the community average for its model. It is Acceptable when all five sit near the average; a card whose model has no community data yet also lands here. It is Underperforming when at least one number sits clearly below the average. These tiers are separate from the SiliconMark Score letter you see on a job. The Performance tab also uses a percentile chip with a plainer cutoff: 50% and above is Optimal, 25 to 49% is Acceptable, and anything under 25% is Underperforming. A higher percentile means more comparable GPUs scored below this one. Filters at the top (test type, tags, status) and a search box for job names help you find a run. Create New Job starts a new test.What a typical run measures
QuickMark is the default test. It is a short speed and memory check that records how fast the GPU does math (in teraflops, or TF, meaning trillions of operations per second), how fast data moves through GPU memory, and the power, temperature, and energy used during the run. It also records the GPU model, serial, and clocks so you can compare the same card over time. Results are compared with other SiliconMark runs of the same GPU model. Many enterprise cards, such as the H100 and A100, also get a SiliconMark Score letter on the job. You can run an AI inference test, a fine-tuning test, or a hardware health scan instead. Those are described on SiliconMark™ Benchmarks.How a job works
- Click Create New Job in the portal.
- Pick a test, name the job, set how many machines (nodes) take part, and add tags if you want them.
- Confirm. The portal shows the one-liner command to download and run the SiliconMark agent on each machine.
- Wait for the agent. A QuickMark speed pass usually takes minutes, and the heat-and-cool check after it adds a few more. SiliconAudit and the large AI tests take much longer; a full health scan can run for hours.
- Open the job in the portal for results and the PDF report.
