[ALLY] View Speed Test

 [1/43] from: larry::ecotope::com at: 20-Apr-2001 16:59


Hi all, Just finished a few minor modifications to a script that Carl wrote for Link. It measures the interpreter speed, time to display bitmaps, and time for the OS to generate windows. It is on the Ecotope rebsite as speed.r. In the clipboard output below, the second column is time in seconds, and the third is the percentage performance relative to a 300 MHz Aptiva. It will be interesting if people with different machines and platforms post results to the ally-list. Please state your clock speed, CPU, OS, video card and video memory (if known). -Larry 450 Mhz PII Win 98 NVidia Riva 128 16MB Performance Test Results for Larry Palmiter Interpreter time: 0:00:01.43 227.27 Bitmap time: 0:00:01.92 208.33 OS window time: 0:00:02.91 154.64

Yes, and the data needs to be natively exportable to SPSS, SAS, Excel/Access, Paradox. And while you are at it, will you add in multi-dimensional axis display so that a click of a button will configurably redisplay the results along different axises. And add in a dynamic, continuously updated, 3 axis rotational capability ... if its not too much trouble. 8-) 500 mhz Celeron Win 98 128 MB NVidia Riva TNT2 32 MB Performance Test Results for Scott Jones Interpreter time: 0:00:01.43 227.27 Bitmap time: 0:00:02.47 161.94 OS window time: 0:00:03.52 127.84 --Scott Jones

I'm running a 1024x768x24bit @ 71Hz refresh screen mode. I decided to go for a 24bit display to get those nice gradients in REBOL looking really nice =)...and 1024x768 was the highest resolution I could push my monitor too and have a decent refresh rate (I can't hack the 60Hz flicker).

Hi Jussi You wrote: Weird, something seems to be a bit buggy with the percentages. Well, I do not care. Yes, very buggy. Thanks for catching it. Carl forgot about minutes and (heaven forbid) hours. Sorry everyone, I should have caught that the first time around. The script has been fixed to show correct percentages. I will correct the results from the posts when I summarize them, so no need to resubmit. The new script is on the Ecotope rebsite or directly at http://www.nwlink.com/~ecotope1/reb/speed.r If using the desktop, be sure to reload the script, or even better, delete the file from the nwlink.com/~ecotope1/reb directory under view-root/public. Please keep the speed tests coming in, it is getting interesting. I have about 25 emails so far covering about 30 machines. I would like to see more from dual boot machines, also some results for fast *nix boxes using X. Anyone think they have the fastest machine? the slowest machine? Anyone with a Mac? Some times for BE Os? Cheers -Larry

I'm not surprised. I like Linux as much as I dislike Windoze, but X-Windows is not famous for its velocity (nor it was borne to be quick, to be true). Greetings -- Paolo Russo [pa--russo--perd--com] _________________ PERD s.r.l. Virtual Technologies for Real Solutions http://www.perd.com

On my AMD [K6-2--450MHz] with ATI Charger I have tested the Linux and BeOS versions of View. As one could assume BeOS is much faster on bitmap and OS window time. I have no numbers of BeOS at the moment though. Linux, PC above: Interpreter time: 0:00:02.722577 119.37 Bitmap time: 0:00:05.355719 74.69 OS window time: 0:00:12.362731 36.40 and as you can see, the gfx card is crap :) -- Jussi Hagman CS in Åbo Akademi University Studentbyn 4 D 33 [juhagman--abo--fi] 20540 Åbo [jhagman--infa--abo--fi] Finland

Here comes results for BeOS R5 x86: Performance Test Results for A Rebol Interpreter time: 0:00:02.473815 131.38 Bitmap time: 0:00:02.888204 138.49 OS window time: 0:00:05.351347 84.09 And Win98: Performance Test Results for A Rebol Interpretef time: 0:00:02.86 113.64 Bitmap time: 0:00:06.1 65.57 OS window time: 0:00:06.37 70.64 The machine is same as before AMD K6-2 450MHz, ATI Charger 8MB, enough physical memory. -- Jussi Hagman CS in Åbo Akademi University Studentbyn 4 D 33 [juhagman--abo--fi] 20540 Åbo [jhagman--infa--abo--fi] Finland

Hi PeO Thanks, I will add it to the database. I have 43 machine test results so far. And I really will do some summaries soon. New test results from others on the list are still welcome. The script is at http://www.nwlink.com/~ecotope1/speed.r -Larry

Hi Brett Good idea. Consider it done. I reduced the auxiliary info to just the cpu speed in MHz. Folks should also feel free to email the clipboard results with added info directly to me. -Larry

Hi Joel Sorry, I was typing too fast. Try http://www.nwlink.com/~ecotope1/reb/speed.r -Larry

When I try to hit that link with a browser, I get Not Found The requested URL /~ecotope1/speed.r was not found on this server. and (of course) REBOL/View complains Cannot find http://www.nwlink.com/~ecotope1/speed.r when I try it in the "goto" menu. -jn-

More results from my computer-room: :) Dell Latitude CPx H500GT, Solaris 7 x86, P-III 500MHz, 128Mb RAM, ATI Rage Mobility M1, 8Mb at 1024x768, 24 bit on local TFT Interpreter time: 0:00:02.392482 135.84 Bitmap time: 0:00:05.616684 71.22 OS window time: 0:00:07.333078 61.37 Have no windoze on this machine yet, maybe after writing the Solaris 7 installation guide for this one.. /PeO

I think Carl's original intent was simply to get a quick indicator of the speed of View in each of the three categories of the test. Like many benchmarks, the test is far too simple and short to really evaluate CPUs, but the results are interesting none the less. The email pop-up will take any line of text so folks can also enter cpu make, video card, video memory, etc., if they wish. I meant to say only that I would discard any results lacking cpu speed. There are several important variables not generally present in the data received so far, for instance screen display resolution and color depth, system bus speed, ram chip speeds, cpu cache specs, video memory and display speed, etc. While these factors can be useful in understanding particularly high or low times for a given cpu speed, they introduce so many variables that it would require hundreds of test results overall in order to be able to at least partially quantify the influence of each factor.

I am not familiar with RC5. I would guess that scripts which don't use view/vid (like my loop-timer.r script) would run at comparable speeds with different OS on same box. -Larry

Wasn't the speed test's initial goal to compare the REBOL/View speed between different platforms and graphic adapters ? So, removing the extra info will give a very unfair comparision between the CPUs.. Would also be interesting if everyone could add a RC5 benchmark to their results, since this test seems to give very small differences between OSes on the same system. /PeO

Hey Larry, Perhaps the script could email you directly with the results rather than this list? :) Brett.

..and another test on the Latitude.. Dell Latitude CPx H500GT, win98, P-III 500MHz, 128Mb RAM, ATI Rage Mobility M1, 8Mb at 1024x768, 24 bit on local TFT Performance Test Results for P-O Yliniemi Interpreter time: 0:00:01.15 282.61 Bitmap time: 0:00:00.71 563.38 OS window time: 0:00:01.87 240.64 .. Notice the really enormous difference between /View on windoze and /View on Solaris (using exactly the same configuration gave me 135.84, 71.22 and 61.37 using Solaris).. Shouldn't 'Interpreter time' be the same between the OSes on the same machine ?

The RC5/OGR client uses an optimized core for the CPU it finds, but the speed results are quite comparable between different OSes on the same machine, at least within 10% of each other. Just about to run the RC5 client on win at the laptop to see the results there.. Laptop results for DNETC client's benchmark test (http://www.distributed.net) RC5 Solaris 1,393,046.37 keys/s win 1,403,556.09 keys/s --diff-- win about +7% OGR Solaris 3,106,630.25 nodes/s win 3,426,231.61 nodes/s --diff-- win about +10% I will try out your loop-timer.r script to see if I get comparable results between OSes on the other solaris/win box... btw.. I like the speed of my laptop :) /PeO
