Benchmark

Recommended Posts

I know this has been brought up in the past and again in another active thread. To do some processing time benchmarks. Anyone who is willing I have selected one of the default sample files. This is a default sample file but it is only there if you have installed the sample files from disk #2. Maybe someone can post it on the ftp? I have problems uploading.

 

1. Open: C:mcamxmcxmillsamplesinchhigh speedHST-CORE-HORIZONTAL-RASTER.MCX

 

2. There are three operations in this file, they all have the filter set to off, with a total tolerance of .001".

 

3. Set the Total Tolerance to .0001" on all three operations.

 

4. Select all

 

5. Regenerate

 

6. Please post:

 

Time to process

laptop/desktop

CPU & speed

Operation System

RAM & RAM speed

 

 

I think this will be a useful tool for those looking at purchasing a new workstation. Also, if you have a pc that is older please test this also, it will give an idea to others with similar configurations on how much time can be saved by getting a new pc (may help with justification for new pc?).

 

Thank you

.0001"

 

just re-tested. I set my tolerances to .005" and regened (to make the regen files unuseable for when i regen at .0001"), then set the tolerances to .0001" and regened at had a nearly identical time, within a few seconds.
