Note: since june 2006
version 5 of the OCUS Benchmark has been introdcued.
Enter the major league and run v5 instead .....

In short:

You download the benchmark, unpack it, follow the directions in the README.txt file and run the trail file on your own computer with Pro/ENGINEER.
Count the results with the count utility.
Send the results to me by sending the time stamps to my web-based count tool.

You can view the results here.

What does the trail file do?

It opens the generic part and assembly (consisting of many instances of the part) and does many repeated actions on both and on a created drawing of the assembly. In between each repetition of tasks a time stamp is created.

Which tests are performed?

Requirements:

  • RAM minimum 700 MB
  • Available disk space: 150 Mb
  • Pro/E: Wildfire, Wildfire 2.0 or Wildfire 3.0
  • Runtime: Anywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours
  • Trail file: ocus_bench_42_Wildfire.txt, ocus_bench_42_Wildfire2.txt or ocus_bench_42_Wildfire3.txt

    • The benchmark is a lot more demanding:
      • the fastest machines we're too fast, which made the results inaccurate.
    • All test were rewritten to use Wildfire and Wildfire 2.0 commands.
    • To improve stability all tests now use internal commands.
      • should now be less version dependant.

I encourage you to perform this benchmark on your own computer. Check if it meets the above requirements and download the benchmark here
  • I prefer you send your results to me with my web-based count utility

    • This will be automatically started when you count your results with the count program of the benchmark.

Also carefully read the README file.
