BDsoft DeskMaster - Benchmarks
Special benchmark version
- As the free DeskMaster versions on this
server are quite old, there is a special version of the program available
which is nearly just for benchmarking purposes. This version may be
downloaded here:
- DeskMaster_MM.exe (ca. 3.6 MB)
- DeskMaster_MM.zip (ca. 1.4 MB)
- Although looking then a little strange, you may also run it without any other files installed...
Remarks
- The results reported here can only give you a small hint at the speed of a computer. However, they may be useful to get a first impression...
- All benchmark results have been recorded via the Benchmark module of the BDsoft DeskMaster.
- To my personal astonishment, there seem to be real speed differences between different versions of the BDsoft DeskMaster - even if the Benchmark part has been left unchanged. Unfortunately it seems that the Benchmarks are getting a bit slower with newer versions...
- For some benchmarks the "real" CPU usage, based on the internal performance registers of the Intel Pentium 4 (Northwood core) are given in brackets. The main reason why they are given at all, was to show that it is possible to have 100 % system load indicated but only less than 20 % of your CPU really working...
Tests
- Loop counts the time used for 1.000.000.000 "loops" of an empty "for ... to ..." construction. (ca. 66.0 %)
- Prim counts the time for the calculation of all prime numbers from 1 to 1,000,000 using the function "b_Prim" of the BDsNT. (ca. 14.3 %)
- PrimA is almost the same as the test before but uses the "b_PrimA" function. Because it uses an array, it may also give an impression of the memory's influence. (ca. 17.2 %)
- Root calculates the 137th root out of all numbers from 1 to 1,000,000 with the BDsNT function "Root" and measures the time used for that. (ca. 16.1 %)
- MemStream create a memory stream with a size of 10,000,000 bytes and writes to this stream byte by byte. (ca. 32.2 %)
- Divide calculates 1 / 2345671, which result in a number with a period length of 116,660 digits. It seems to be pure chance, that this number result in such a very high CPU usage. (ca. 95.2 %)
- CodeBreaker finds the password to a
string coded with the password "ABC", the hash MD5 and the
Rijndael encryption algorithm by trying all possible passwords from #0 to
the used one (ca. 35 %)
- Versions prior to 2007-11-30 use a slower implementation of Rijdael, leading to slower results in this test.
- InitIcons loads 1000 icons to an image
list and converts them into gray icons that are stored in another image
list.
- Versions prior to 2009-04-01 use a slightly different version of this test leading to much slower results if started from slow data mediums (e.g. USB-Sticks). The new version should be a little faster, too.
Results
- Not all results were obtained with the same version of the BDsoft DeskMaster. Therefore, they cannot be compared absolutely.
- If you have own results, you may mail them!
