Test File For PC 'Puting

[Trevor Bailey]

Has anyone come up with a file so that we can test calculations times against? I have my own, but it would be nice to have one that we could share with all forum members as a "standard" to check times against.

 

I have a new pc that has blown away previous calculation times on my personnal files.

 

Now have a HP Pavillion zd7000

P4 3.0ht

1g ram

128 mb Geforce FX Go5700 card

17" wide screen.

[DavidB]

Great idea put a file on FTP sit and I'll regen it here.

 

I have a 21" screen so i think mine will Regen faster

Only problem is my toolpaths will be upside down compared to yours!!!

 

[Trevor Bailey]

Love a good sense of humor.

[DavidB]

Trevor,

 

If you put a file on the FTP i will be happy to regen it on my PC and give you time taken if you like?

 

[G Caputo]

Trevor,

 

If someone will put one up, I will give it a shot here at home and at work. I would love to see how my work and home PC's would stand up in the real world.

[gcode]

there is a sample file named Leftover-3d collapse.mc9.

Its installed in the Surface Machining folder if you do the default sample install. I didn't see it in the MR0304 install.

It will give your box a decent workout.

My Dell regens it in 62 seconds.

[DavidB]

Gcode,

Which folder is it in I could not see it in the MC9_files folder??

 

[M. Anderson]

I did "gcode's" suggested file -

 

Something must be wrong - 22 seconds?

 

You are talking about re-gen of the toolpaths? Right?

 

System:

 

Dell P360

P4-2.4

Mark,

 

Thx 4 the email I will crunch it tomorrow at work and give you time.

 

I think I will beat you to 21" screen versus your 19".

 

[RandyN]

50 seconds on my dell dual 2.8 xeon, not that the dual processors did anything for it, but since they are there, I might as well mention it.

Can not find it as well????????

[G Caputo]

I zipped it and put it under the MC9 folder for anyone interested that can't find it. LEFTOVER-3D COLLAPSE.

2:25 first time

:55 second time

2.0 gig

512 ram

Quadro 2 pro

Does this have something to with the cache?

I'm refering to the time differences.

[RandyN]

I found if I run it a second time, it does it in 20 seconds, so once its in cache, it runs a lot faster. You need to pull up a fresh MC, and then run it once for the most accurate results. I would assume that the 48 seconds on that 1.8 was a second run at it.

[G Caputo]

Sad to say but they were both on a second run with those times

[cadcam]

Trevor do you want us to compare are desktops to your new laptop?

 

Not a fare challange if I say so.

But I am willing to put my laptop against yours.
