2536.0. "x11perf or graphstone info??" by BLKWDO::SCHUERER (Stev Schuerer DWT SWDistrict) Wed Mar 28 1990 16:07

I am looking for graphics performanceof our DECwindows product. Does 
anyoneknow who might have some results of either MIT's x11perf benchmark and 
or a benchmark called "graphstones"? I am not familiar with graphstones, so I 
might be using the terminology wrong. I would like to use the data in 
competitive situations in my workstation sales.

Thanks

    There are X11Perf benchmark results are posted in note 2048.0.
    Don't know about "graphstones".

Thanks for the pointer. I think the x11perf will do just fine.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

(I know I gave you the answer in the DWT conference, but for others...)

"Graphstones" are from Workstation Labs (WSL).  Not to be confused with our 
Western Research Labs.  These folks do benchmarking across different vendors 
platforms.  Dave Wilson, president of WSL, also writes the column "Tested 
Mettle" for UNIX Today.  Though this benchmark consits of about 10 different
tests, it's a single digit value benchmark, like Whetstone & Drystone.  Easy to 
compare numbers, but not very comprehensive.  

I have the source code for the entire suite of WSL Benchmarks - including
Graphstone, Whetstone, Drystone, Kornerstone, CPU, I/O, Math functions, etc. If anyone is 
interested, they can be made available over the net.  However, this version has 
not been ported to any of our platforms.  The new tape came yesterday in fact.

I have, buried somewhere, the press release announcement of the graphstone 
benchmark.
