Short: CPU speed benchmark program Author: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk) Uploader: Gareth Murfin (gazy@globalnet.co.uk) Type: Util/Moni tCPU - Amiga Bench Mark CPU tester ---------------------------------- By Gareth Murfin tCPU is a simple program which you place in your C: directory and then in shell type 'tCPU'. It will calculate the speed of your CPU by doing a few different tests and averaging the results. It is measured in 'Murfins' which is similar to MIPs or Mhz, although obviously they are on a completely different scale. Here is a graph so that you can rate the performance of your CPU, although you should be aware that sometimes a CPU seems far too fast or slow. This is quite rare, but Ive had reports about it. I suppose you could call these types of results anomalies, which need to be sorted out. tCPU averages out all the results so 95% of the time you can be sure you're getting a correct reading. the thing to remember with tCPU is that the LOWER the Murfins the faster your CPU is, my 060 scored 93.3 Murfins although Ive had reports of some 040's scoring exceptionally well presumable because of some command which the 060 hasnt got :) CPU speed - Line graph to show the RAW speeds (Murfins) of the Amiga 68k CPU in Murfins | as measured using tCPU. 130-| | ____/· 120-| / | · 110-| ______/ * Please don't assume this graph | /· is 100% accurate, also some CPU's 100-| ______.-----/ unexplainably perform better/worse | / than this graph predicts. 90-| · ¦/ +---------------------------------- 060 040 030 020 000 CPU (68k) Feedback -------- To improve the accuracy of tCPU please send me your Amiga spec and CPU speed in 'Murfins' to gazy@globalnet.co.uk. An ideal way is to do : tCPU >ram:temp and send me the file ram:temp. As it contains all the information I need ;-) Also Check Out :- ----------------- Also look out for these programs which were all done by the author.
