The OCUS Benchmark of Pro/E Builds

- Last modified: Feb 11 2000 -

Here are the results of running the OCUS Benchmark with different builds of Pro/E.

I created an R19 and a R2000i version trail file of the R20 benchmark. Each trail files was run on one and the same computer under the exact same conditions.

The tests were performed on a:

Compaq AP550 PIII 733MHz 3DLabs Oxygen GVX1 256Mb RAM 256Mb swap NT4.0SP6

The results clearly show how the performance of Pro/E increased on all fronts with the introduction of R20 compared to R19.

R2000i is nevertheless a bit slower than R20 except when it comes to saving data and verifying the family table (which is also a lot of disk io). Most likely due to the new binary format.

Build	Total	160 wireframe redraws	90 shaded mouse spins	400 shaded redraws	80 shade calculations	8 regenerations	200 menu redraws	60 saves	300 dialogue box redraws	180 wireframe mouse zooms	2 patterned x-sections	Family Table verify	Assembly creation	15 explode translations	20 screen updates	50 model tree expansions	25 automatic regenerations	20 perspective views
R19 9840	517	26	28	19	26	30	38	41	59	43	27	21	28	32	24	23	28	24
R20 9933	419	25	27	15	26	30	12	41	16	42	25	19	30	28	23	15	20	25
R2000i 1999350	424	28	43	20	26	31	13	29	16	43	23	14	27	28	25	15	19	24

The same kind of results apply for an SGI:

SGI Indigo2 R10000 200 MHz Impact graphics 588Mb RAM 600Mb swap IRIX 6.2 with MIPS4 binary code

Build Total 160 wireframe redraws 90 shaded mouse spins 400 shaded redraws 80 shade calculations 8 regenerations 200 menu redraws 60 saves 300 dialogue box redraws 180 wireframe mouse zooms 2 patterned x-sections Family Table verify Assembly creation 15 explode translations 20 screen updates 50 model tree expansions 25 automatic regenerations 20 perspective views

R19 9840 1550 106 91 62 92 109 88 99 125 55 81 67 93 102 96 93 94 97

R20 9839 1229 93 90 47 80 93 53 96 37 52 64 53 88 84 85 59 69 86

R2000i 1999350 1289 98 91 55 80 95 59 95 37 100 64 44 85 88 87 59 67 85

This second images demonstrates how the amount of memory needed by Pro/E for this benchmark decreased from R19 ro R20 and then increased again from R20 to R2000i.

The results above were also verified for an SGI Indigo2 with R4600 processor and ELF2 binary code. And also for a SUN Ultra 1 with Creator 3D

If you would like to do this test on your computer here you can download the other revision trail-file and config.pro. Use the part from the R20 benchmark.

Note: This is NOT the new R2000i OCUS benchmark. That one is scheduled later this year.
