Olaf Corten's Pro/ENGINEER Benchmark

The OCUS Benchmark v3.1 Results

- Last modified: Sep 21 1999 -

These are the results of my OCUS Benchmark v3.1 devided into types.

Note: the results are devided into different types, but very few of them fall exactly in the type described. It is more an indication of what is mainly going on. e.g.: the Create Drawing test also needs to put something on the screen so the graphics are also involved there, but the main load falls on the CPU. Some graphics test are also much influenced by the speed of the CPU.

This is just an indication ...

  • CPU tests score Where putting something on the screen is not the main task:
    (Retrieve Assembly, Turn on FastHLR, shade calculations, initiate advanced shaded mode, regenerations, Automatic Regenerates, Perspective views, Assy Mass Properties calculations, Global Interference checks, Assy IGES export, Create Drawing, Show Dimensions, Regenerate Views NO HIDDEN, Regenerate Views HIDDEN LINE, Postscript file creation, DXF file creation).
  • Graphics tests scoreWhere the main task is putting something on screen:
    (wireframe redraws, wireframe redraws with DTMS, hiddenline redraws, hiddenline redraws with FastHLR, shaded mouse spins, shaded redraws, wireframe mouse zooms, advanced shaded mouse zooms, Explode translations, Screen updates, Comp.Disp. translates, X-Section shows).
  • GUI tests scoreWhere the main task is GUI stuff:
    (menu redraws, dialogue box redraws, Model Tree Expansions).
  • DISK tests scoreWhere the main task is disk io:
    (Part Saves, Assy IGES export, Postscript file creation, DXF file creation).
