POSBB
Portable OS Based Benchmark
  15-May-98
  (Amiga version 0.27, generic version 0.13)

POSBB is a new benchmark program wich allow you to test and compare different computers,
Operating Systems,CPUs and even C compilers.
POSBB means:
  Portable   (you can compile it on every computer and there will be platform specific version for a lot of systems)
  OS-Based   (in its tests it uses the same Operating System's functions that a real program would use to do the same thing)
  Benchmark

I know there already are many benchmarks but this maybe is the only platform independent one which
tests not only the raw horsepower of the processor/memory but does high level tests that involves
also the Operating System of the host machine.

At this time there are two versions:
Amiga (Amiga specific version)
generic (100 % platform independent version)

At the moment it does these tests:

Memory copying speed (with chunks of 3 different sizes)
Int math speed
FP math speed
Trigonometry math speed
Pixel,lines,ellipse drawing speed (only Amiga version,m68k & PPC)
Text output to stdout (console)
(very soon: raytracing test using POV-Ray)

I WANT YOU: You can join the POSBB Team and contribute to the developing or beta-testing sending me an e-mail.

MY PERSONAL WWW PAGE

http://www.pragmanet.it/hppersonali/user827/Pietro.htm (will be updated soon)

Please send me the file POSBB generates on your machine (better if in highest precision mode),
so I can add many sample results to the distribution and also make POSBB able to automatically
compare the machine it is running on with others.
Remeber this is a BETA release. Stay tuned for updates !


This Archive contains:
- sources
- docs
- Amiga version's executables optimized for all 680x0s (also for 060 from this version!) and for PPC (at the moment only for P5's enviroment,not WarpOS :( )
- generic version's executables for m68k-amigaos,ppc-amigaos,i386-win32,sun-sparc-sunos-5.5.1,m68k-linux,v 0.12 binary for i386-linux,
  m68k NetBSD,sun-sparc-sunos-5.5.1.
- some sample result files


Have fun !
