Functionality

• SIMD; avx2 and avx512 workload, if the cpu doesn't support avx512 -> outputs NaN for the workload and skips it.
• Branch Prediction workload (In short; guess the outcome of if/else statements before they are fully executed)
• AES-GCM to test cryptographic acceleration hardware and integer performance.
• CPU Core Affinity (when -j is not bigger than the available physical cores)
• Clock Speed, Power and thermal monitoring
• Automatically gather the system snapshot (CPU model, cores, OS, RAM, etc.) on every benchmark run.
  Displayed as a header in the results. Saved locally as part of the result in the history file.

New CLI

• locus --history; Lists all saved benchmark runs (JSON), each with a unique ID, timestamp, and --tag.
  Atomic File Writes with Locking to prevent data loss if two instances of locus try to write to the file simultaneously.
  Crates; platform-dirs, serde, serde_json, fs4
• locus --compare <ID1> <ID2>; Provides a detailed comparison table showing the absolute and percentage difference between two specific runs.
• locus --compare-latest
• --export <json/csv> <filename>
• --export-chart <filename> (svg)
• locus submit <nickname>; Runs 3 stages of all workload -d 30 benchmarks -> 1 thread, /2 threads and all threads.
  Then the data is immediately sent to the Website Leaderboard API 🎉
