Algodoo

7.8

Not too bad its a pretty demanding scene

5.5 on a macbook air i5 with 8 gb flash memory

In your description of the scene you wrote "Bench_steps(n)" but the function is actually "sim.step_N(n)".

Anyhow, would you mind explaining how the benchmark works? Please explain the script line-by-line. Thanks!

Sure Xray! In algodoo there is a built in function called "Bench_steps(n)" which does the same code as my "benchmark" function except "Bench_steps(n)" prints to the console.

The code basically gets "System.time" which is like "sim.time" except it never stops and also is a more specific number.

Next, it forces the simulation to run 100 steps (i.e Sim.Step_N(100);)which is just like running the scene but it does it as fast as it can! (A step is one total scene calculation for 1/(frequency of scene) of a second)

Then it gets the system time again, finds the difference and it shows how long it took to do 100 simulation steps!

I hope that helps

Well, I'm still a little confused about what you said. You said "Bench_steps(n)" is a built-in function, but I don't believe it is. It appears to be a user-created function. "sim.steps_N" is a built-in function (what Algodoo calls an intrinsic function) which Bench_steps(n) calls. Anyhow, I now understand how your code works. Thanks!

Bench_steps is always with algodoo even after a config reset. Just type bench_steps into the console

Hmmmmm.... interesting. I'll have to look into that issue a little further.

Thanks again!

3.8 - What is it?

No Problem Xray!

@Litz, 3.8 is how many seconds it took for you computer to run the simulation

So thats fast?

Now again: 3.9225845

I would say its about average! I can't tell exactly

Mine was 4.5523834 on a Dell(R) Inspiron with an Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual-Core E5300 CPU. Is that fairly good?

Also it's 2.60 GHz along with 3 GB of RAM

Is mine slow, average, or fast???

That's a a little lower than average!
