- A.I.B.B.
- Amiga Intuition Based Benchmarks
- Program Release Version 4.0
- Copyright 1991,1992 LaMonte Koop
-
-
- This version of AIBB is a complete re-write from the original code
- used for the previous versions 1-3. Being that this is the case, it
- is quite important that the documentation be read thoroughly in order
- to completely understand all aspects of the program performance.
-
- Primary new features to this version include:
-
- -- Improved CPU/FPU clock speed evaluation code. Earlier versions
- had a great many problems in this area, primarily due to a
- misplaced NOP instruction wreaking havoc with the timings.
-
- -- Enhanced/additional tests. Some tests in earlier versions were
- proven to be non-useful in any real form and were removed.
- The remaining tests were enhanced and refined, and new tests
- were added to further complete the package.
-
- -- Improved system information. More pertinent information is
- given towards evaluation of AIBB's benchmark performance.
-
- -- Module save/load capability. AIBB now incorporates the ability
- to create "load modules" consisting of saved test/machine
- evaluations. These modules may be loaded into AIBB at convienience
- and used within comparisons. This is an effort to allow
- comparisons across many machine types, rather than restricting
- them to in-built figures. A set of internal defaults is included.
-
- -- AIBB has been made more "aware" of the system it is operating
- on and will attempt to keep users informed of situations which
- may prove detrimental to performance analysis.
-
- Further description of these and other features is found in the main
- documentation.
