Benchmarking survey
I'm currently benchmarking as many systems as I can get my paws on, in the hope that I can convince my boss of the power of a dual 1GHz system.
I'm using AltiVec Fractal Carbon Demo, which is available from:
<a href="http://daugerresearch.com/fractaldemos/altivecfractalcarbon.html" target="_blank">http://daugerresearch.com/fractaldemos/altivecfractalcarbon.html</a>
I'm using the default settings (checking that the MP code is set correctly).
I'm trying to get benchmark results for:
? (Quicksilver 2002)
1000DP Power Mac G4 [7052.6MFlops]
933 Power Mac G4
800 Power Mac G4 [2865.9MFlops]

If anybody fancies benchmarking their system I'd certainly appreciate it!

Thanks, that's saved me a lot of time!
thats with the default settings ...
But if you want this to be remotly accurate you'll have to specify more info about how exactly the test should be run.
1.) What is a megaflop?
2.) How do you benchmark your system to get those megaflop results.
3.) What is good/bad/ok?
Thanks in advance. By the way, I love Mac. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
(technically I think it might be slightly different, like one megaflop equals 8^1024/8 or something)
BTW, how about a benchmark that PC users can use too?
<strong>A megaflop = one million operations per second.</strong><hr></blockquote>Actually, a "flop" is a floating point operation, something that the G4 excels at. [quote]<strong>BTW, how about a benchmark that PC users can use too?</strong><hr></blockquote>What? You can't do gigaflops on your PC? Seriously, though, I'm pretty sure that the "SiSoftware Sandra" suite of tools performs FLOP tests as well as many others.

3382.4 MFlops
Though, I can get it a fair bit higher by tweaking the various settings.

:cool:
With AltiVec On: 1108.0 MF
With AltiVec Off: 223.1 MF <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" />
Not so shaby I was worried my SLOWsilver was cr@p!
Sorry guys, been away for a while. I didn't realise that so many people had responded!
A big thank you from [rainy] Glasgow!
Keep up the good work!
Quicksilver 733/512 ram = 2574 Mfps
ahh.... thats better
