For many problems your time is the expensive part. If having a faster computer makes you more productive, it can be cost effective to buy one. However, before you splash out on new toys for yourself, your boss/partner may want to see some numbers to justify the expense. Measuring the performance of your computer is called benchmarking, and you can do that with the benchmarkme package.

Instructions

100 XP

After you've loaded the benchmarkme package:

  • Obtain the amount of RAM on this machine using get_ram().
  • Obtain the CPU specifications using get_cpu().
