maxwell:[22/September/2025 14:30:20] [ERROR]:
Error parsing argument: -benchwell

It should be working like in previous Maxwell versions, especailly when the help indicates the benchwell parameter.

Code: Select all

> .\maxwell.exe -help

maxwell:[22/September/2025 14:25:21] [INFO]:   -benchwell                          Run Benchwell

Please release a fix for this.

Hello Julien,

The command changed in Maxwell 5 as there are now two different benchwells: one for CPU and another one for GPU.

If you want to launch the benchwell for CPU, the flag would be -benchwell-cpu
And for GPU, it would be -benchwell-gpu

It's true it hasn't been updated when running the -h command, where it still shows -benchwell

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Fernando
