Date: 21 Jan 1995 00:40:02 UTC Lines: 28 I picked up a benchmark off garbo and I wonder if its results make sense and how these results compare to what might be expected. My motherboard is a 486DX2-66 with an AMI BIOS and 3 VLB slots. Apart from that, I don't know much about it. I gave it 128K of cache. The benchmark is called 'config.exe', and it's from Germany. It says that the 1st level cache has a throughput of 60MB/sec, the 2nd level 30 MB/sec and main memory just under 10MB/sec. The same benchmark says my SCSI disk (off an Adaptec 2842) gets about 1MB/sec How does this compare? To my eyes it almost looks too compressed. That is, the ratio between adjacent numbers looks too small. I get _phenominal_ looking X performance on it... If I blink, I'd miss the refresh process that takes place as xlock dies... I can do opaque window drags like my Suns can do non-opaque ones... kernel compiles do seem to take forever, though - about 35 mins. ObBSD: Has anyone attempted to get/run SPECint or SPECfp on a FreeBSD box? If the source is publicly available, I may just give it a whack, just for fun. Same question for Xstone. -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NOCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | 01001001 +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | URL: http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ |
