Hi

Did a test with hdparm, which gave about;

buffer disks reads; 53.3 MB/sec

buffer cache reads; 284.4 MB/sec

This on a Peg II G4. At least twice as fast as on the Peg 1, if I not remember wrong.

I did some 3D Benchmarks with Games between Pegasos I and eMac. No suprise, the Mac beats the Pegasos.

3D Benchmarks

That is all good guys...THANKS!

We are looking for a way to show the virtues of AltiVec. We undertsand that alot of this is still coming, but there may be a few things from the Mac environment (like RC5) that we can port/show.

Please check this thread I just started: https://morph.zone/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=1726&forum=9

I ran a benchmark with XBench in MacOS X 10.3.3 using MacOnLinux 0.9.70 on a Pegasos II/G4. 128MB allocated for MOL.

MorphOS 1.4.2, Voodoo3 3500
Quake II, MiniGL, High Detail
Timerefresh, first level

235,3 FPS - 320x240
115,8 FPS - 640x480
69,0 FPS - 800x600
41,0 FPS - 1024x768

AmiGOD1 is the only one that saves results into the database. AmiGOD2 is still in BETA stage. It was developed in several languages: BlitzBasic2 (improved AmiGOD1), StormC, PowerD/GUI and PowerD/MUI (AmiGOD2). PowerD doesn't support MorphOS and has many bugs (sorry Mark), so now I am developing "AmiGOD2 Reloaded" from scratch (again) in GCC language (MOS SDK). Saving results was implemented less than in one minute of coding and AmiGOD2 Reloaded is finally MorphOS native! It's not released yet - like MorphOS 1.5

Quake II, MiniGL, High Detail, Voodoo 3 3500... etc.

Config: Pegasos I G3/600MHz!

Try BLAST, it's a scientific benchmark. If someone ports the Apple version (they've optimised it for Altivec) you can put a G4 Peg against any P4 and the Peg will completely destroy it.


Try this:

Build script is here:
ncbi/make/makedis.csh

Note:
Look for the tool "BLASTn".
"Word length" makes a big difference, try 30+
