What do these results mean? How do you read this?
Does this mean 466 MFlops? |

Honestly wasnt the problem here what it means exactly... The important thing was to have for everyone the same metric compaarison value... So mflop tflop or picoflops dont cares... The important thing was to use for eveyone the same bench tool, so to have comparable values. No matter if wasnt good values for all the world... _________________ Simone"Tuxedo"Monsignori, Perugia, ITALY. |

But how do you read it?
Does this means 466 MFlops? Or what?
Because if it means this ... then it makes no sense ...
As the G4 values should be 3 times this number.. So I wonder what the bench measures of if the bench is broken? |

I honestly only wanted to compare results made with same program on different systems, no matter the number itself, but the result obtained on different systems that maybe comparable. _________________ Simone"Tuxedo"Monsignori, Perugia, ITALY. |

BTW.... That wasnt a thread to create flame or whaterver... Just try to use the tool that can be used and see what happens...
For example simply use only tools (like lame for example) that have a native version and compare them...possibly with same version

This makes a lot sense..
Of course as long the tools not broken by design.

Can be many things, EClock was changed in AmigaOS4.1. it tricks too fast compared to Amiga1200. |
Is the source of the bench anywhere so download?
Maybe we can explain it then? |

I always wanted something like MacOS7.x.x speedometer for AmigaOS, yep its pretty simple tool, but tells a lot about the difference aspect of system disk, io, math, etc.. the best thing about it is that easy to compare different systems. But I’m pretty sure its 680x0 only, so does give some misinformation about PowerPC machines, what’s good and what’s bad. The information is only relevant if a MacOS 68K program running on the hardware nothing else.

Yes I know what you mean.
I think measuring performance is very difficult.
A CPU has many different instructions and a coder has often many different ways to solve a problem.
The FPU benchmark code for example ... is not well coded. FPU instructions have latency and the IBM and Motorola programmers manual explain you very clearly how to write reasonable FPU code. Looking at the source, this test is not written how coders should write FPU code. This explains also the terrible score.
If you goal is to measure how fast the CPU can go with very bad written code... Then the test does a perfect job.
It depends on what you want to measure. If you want to measure how fast the CPU could go with good code, then you need to use another benchmark.

dunno the source, I only downloaded the aMiga-like versions ready of the tools, maybe in the readme files was written... _________________ Simone"Tuxedo"Monsignori, Perugia, ITALY. |

Maybe yes, maybe no.
I agree that some coder write bad code.
But with FPU code in general you very often have workloads where you have to bulk process a lot of data. E.g. do matrix transformation over thousands of vertices for a 3D program. These FPU workloads can often be written very good and optimal. Also C Compiler like GCC can on do on such code pretty decent results. And "good" CPU will allow to several FPU instruction parallel.
Now this benchmark code look relative bad written, and the way its written will nullify many good features in good CPUs.
So not sure if its useful to run it.
When we you look at cars then typically you say that a good driver with free street can get this car can do max 280 KMH.
What value would have a sentence like:
This Porsche with a bad driver with some traffic jam might reach 50 KMH ?
