Re: [Flightgear-devel] FlightGear 'benchmark'
I would be very interested to know how many polygons per second FGFS is rendering. Do you have a ballpark number? It might be nice to have several sections of the benchmark and in one try to maximize poly count of the scene and minimize all else.

Does FGFS have a debug swicth which activates the display of such a number ? The only thing we know is that high polygon models obviously don't have a noticeable impact on the framerate on the Octane. It might be nice to have several sections of the benchmark and in one try to maximize poly count of the scene and minimize all else. In fact, I did the package primarily to evaluate if it is worth spending the money (I don't have ) for a V8 graphics board for my Octane - now that I've already upgraded CPU, Powersupply, Frontplane and Mainboard. I sort of have an Octane2 now, but the appropriate graphics board is missing. I'm still waiting for someone to show up, calling out that he has a V8 to run that 'benchmark' ;-) If FlightGear has the abilities to display more numbers that just the framerate I'd be happy to extend the package accordingly, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
[Flightgear-devel] FlightGear 'benchmark'
Hello, I've assembled a 'small' (40 MByte) FlightGear package and included a README: This is a subset of the FlightGear Open Source flight simulator, packaged together with the purpose to serve as a specific benchmarking tool among different Unix platforms. The idea arose after realizing, that real world performance numbers for Unix workstations, especially for SGI and Sun machines, are rare because most potential users apparently don't like to share their experiences. The package would also serve as a FlightGear 'Getting Started' kit. I hope this package eases the collection of useful numbers. It is _always_ in development, so please include the package version into your feedback. The current 'release' (0.0.1) is based on CVS from 21th February 2004 and should run on IRIX/MIPS, Solaris/Sparc and Linux/x86. Please notice data/COPYING, run the 'benchmark' bin/FGBenchmark and return framerate numbers (lower right corner in the simulator window) to the person tho gave you notice of this package. To have a free flight you're invited to double click the right mouse button (you now should see crosshairs instead of your mouse pointer, this gets you mouse control over the aircraft), release the parking brake with Shift-b and control engine power wit PgUp/PgDown. ftp://ftp.ihg.uni-duisburg.de/FlightGear/Devel/FGBenchmark-0.0.1.tar.bz2 I'll include the necessary shared libraries (libjpeg for IRIX and GCC runtime libraries for Solaris) in a new package unter the same version number this evening, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -- ___ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel

I created a patch that serves to compile current PLIB CVS on AIX. Most
of the needed changes are trivial, some defines for AIX (similar to
those Erik already made for IRIX and Solaris) some strange linefeed
and/or whitespace changes (that's why I compressed/uuencoded the patch
to make shure they don't get lost) and one annoying change in
ssgAux/ssgaBillboards.cxx:
'hz' is already in use on AIX - which does not surprise because it's an
SI unit This has to be redefined. I substituted 'hz' with
'heightz' - this appears to be the meaning of this variable. Would
anyone be so kind to look at the patch and give a suggestion how to
deal/proceed with these changes ?
Thanks,
Martin.
