Well, I haven't run it yet, but according to the readme file there's a new benchmark proggy included with the new client.
Running a benchmark [Advanced Users]
------------------------------------
At the request of many users, we have incorporated a benchmarking scheme
directly into the client software. This is a standard test, which should
always return the same results, when run on the same machine, and serves
as a rough indicator as to the relative performance of the software on
that machine. To tun the benchmark, simply open a DOS/UNIX window and
at the command prompt, type 'foldtrajlite -bench' and hit enter. Make
sure no other programs are running at the same time if you wish to get
an accurate reading. It will run for up to 15 minutes (depending how
slow or fast your machine is) and then output a table of four numbers
like so:
Usr time Sys time
-------- --------
Maketrj 8.030 1.050
Foldtraj 47.200 13.460
These are timings, in seconds, with smaller being better (faster). Total
CPU time is the sum of Usr and Sys time. The Foldtraj timings correspond
to the building of actual structures, while the Maketrj timings are
somewhat less important and reflect the time take to make new trajectory
distributions at the end of each generation.
Post your times and your machine stats, cpu, ram, anything else you think is relevant.
I'll edit this as soon as I run it.
Well, that sucked. Got a nasty error when I tried running it.
EDIT: See thread below if you're getting an error
