The OCUS Benchmark of Pro/E Builds

- Last Modified: -

Results of running the OCUS Benchmark v4 with different builds of Pro/E.

I ran the Wildfire and Wildfire 2.0 version trail files of the v4 benchmark on one computer under the exact same conditions.

The results show how the overall OCUS Benchmark performance of Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 decreased by 6% compared to Wildfire.
We tried to analyze the differences as much as possible.

And what about memory usage ....


The following graph shows the usage for each release at startup of Pro/E and at the end of the OCUS Benchmark
Notice the fact that Wildfire 2.0 uses less memory than Wildfire.
