2484.0. "Standard benchmark needed?" by HGOVC::JIMMYCHAN () Tue Mar 20 1990 20:59

    
    My customer is looking for some benchmark programs from outside world
    which can directly run on both DECstations and Sun workstations in
    order to compare the performance, where can I get these benchmark
    software for evaluating which machine is more powerful.
    
    They would like to test on two vendors' machine X window
    implementation, screen update, integer manipulation, floating point,
    file I/O, 2D graphics and TCP/IP communication.
    
    I am wondering are there any these kind of benchmark software open to
    the users?
    
    Thanks in advance,
    Jimmy

    There is a program called X11Perf distributed by MIT as part of
    their X11 releases that can be used to measure various aspects
    of graphics performance on any X11 server. 
    
    Digital Review uses X11Perf as the basis of their benchmarks
    for comparing X terminals.
