@pavlor

considering just how much newer the PA6T is compared to G4... hm, I'd say that results are more bad than good... I was expecting more

Year 2007 product - compare it to Freescale e600 flagship of that time (8641D). PA6T has many advantages over G4: better performance per watt, better features on SoC, 64 bit etc.

Older "application benchmarks" in this poster confirm excellent FFT performance of PA6T (p. 8 and 10) and also G4 like performance in some other benchmarks (MM800, same pages).

Interesting to note that PA6T gives here better result with greater matrix (MM3000). It seems PA6T performance highly depends on application (see "strange" results in some HardInfo benchmarks) and workload (MM800 vs MM3000).

If you mean poster I linked, then no, it isn´t made by PASemi.

Of course, I too believe only in benchmarks I forged myself.

Run the OS4 blender version on a x86 system & tell us what you get with the benchmark test.

Debian Squeeze has no h/w acceleration, only s/w. I ran glxinfo in a terminal to test. Not much point in posting benchmarks, they would just be slow because of it. Blender times in linux vs os4.1 with 1 core are the same, neither has h/w acceleration yet.

That wasn't my point anyway, all benchmarks are optimized for x86, some versions of linux might support h/w acceleration, I'm not a linux expert/fan to know. There are no fair tests for the x1000, some ppl here understand that, others use the results to degrade a-eon's efforts.

The x1000 runs os4 faster then any x86 system build, thats all I care about.

Yes right ,at this moment we don`t have any hardware2D and 3D driver.
We have only 2D and 3D softwaredriver,so we don`t need to make any benchmarktests

Hmm... why you think the results degrade A-eon's efforts? Like pavlor said some results are surprisingly good. X1000 performing as good as Apple G4 is not bad at all since they are very fast.

Wow, Honeywell, now that company has got bad reputation in Finland... anyway:

Quote:

One-Thread vs. Two-Thread PA Semi Results
· Nearly 2x speedup provided for 3000x3000 matrix multiply
- Smaller matrix multiply suffers due to dataset size
· HSI application speedup limited to 1.63x by highly serialized Weight
Computation stage
- Autocorrelation Sample Matrix (ACSM) and Target Classification stages take
advantage of both cores fairly efficiently
· FFTW actually slowed down for multi-core implementations
- Suspect likely due to inefficiencies in fine-grain parallelization of 1D FFT,
expect much better performance for 2D FFTs with coarse-grain parallelization
· Similar trends observed on 8641D (and 970FX SMP with 2 processors)


Quote:

· Largest speedups on large matrix multiply
- Best exploits parallelism in multi-core architectures
· FFTW does not efficiently exploit both processor cores, limiting
speedup

Guess because being a beta tester, I see the system getting faster in some areas now. I admit, benchmarks today will be interesting to look at after 4.2, but it will never beat the faster x86 systems, nor was it mean't to. Also current benchmarks are not optimize for PPC, so the x1000 will always seem slow. I really see no point doing these test because of that & I do see the MOS guys wanting to put the X down.

Now OS4 benchmarks on the A1's, Sam's, & x1000 to show the difference would be interesting, without the Mac or x86 systems, same OS, different h/w.

I was hoping to try Debian Mint soon, it might have a better gfx driver?

from tibby.dude results...
G5 2.3Ghz vs others:
CPU Blowfish- G5 2.3Ghz is 1/4 faster than x1000, 1/10 slower than Piru's G4
CPU CryptoHash - G5 2.3Ghz is 1/10 faster than x1000 or G4
CPU Fibonacci - G5 2.3Ghz is 1/10 slower than x1000, 1/3 slower than G4
CPU N-Queens - G5 2.3Ghz is 1/5 faster than others
FPU FFT - G5 2.3Ghz is almost 2x faster than x1000, almost 4x faster than G4
FPU Raytracing - G5 2.3Ghz is about 2x faster than others

(G5 has 1.3x the clock rate of PA6T & 1.4x the clock rate of G4)
So the 25W PA6T (and G4) seems very nice against 100W G5.

Only surprice to me is the higher FPU performance of the G5. Why is that?

e600 is superb core, it will be nice to see some e6500 results in the future.

Again, who said that? Was it you? Yes, it was you.

That is just how you want to see it. You find G4 class performance disappointing and wish it is just other people being bitter because they dont have X1000.

Yes because you know X1000 is going to beat any existing OS4 hardware. To me it is not interesting how much faster PA6T is to existing OS4 hardware. To me interesting is "what if morphos was running on this hardware?" and these benchmarks answer my question very well.

Benchmarks are not always just for personal egoboost. They can be used to evaluate hardware options as well.

You & I can go around in circles forever & never agree. I have my thoughts & you have yours. Why is it ppl like to twist what others say into something negative all the time, are we all liars now? Well, some good news, x1000 benchmarks are becoming a lie.

Does blender ever use h/w acceleration for rendering anyway?

I thought it was only for the user interface (and the game engine side)

The problem with OpenGL (related to rendering) is that it doesn't make any guarantees on how the end result will look. You can get (slightly) different results from different graphics cards (for rather extreme example, consider using both 16 and 24bit gfx cards) - potentially even different driver versions could cause different results.

And while with shaders OpenGL can be used for ray tracing, I'd assume blender to be "CPU-only".

i understand
When benchmark are good for X1000, never mind if OS4 or inux lacks many features like 2D or 3D accerlation, but when these tests are not good, the problems is operating system...

however i tryed again on vmware disabling hardware acceleration
