Dear all,
Thank you for your contributions (and time!)
As computers have improved a lot since the benchmark was put together,
there is a need for a new benchmark for ImageJ and java systems in general.
We have noted the following:
1 - since chips are now so fast, the benchmark depends a lot more on the
screen refreshing rate -and thus the graphics card- than on the CPU itself.
2 - the benchmark doesn't last enough to trigger dynamic scaling of some
CPUs, particularly on laptops.
3 - the benchmark does not consider multithreading, very relevant now
with multicore CPUs being the norm.
Currently, there is no proper way to test how well will a computer
perform with java applications, particularly java imaging apps like ImageJ.
Eventually "we" (Stephan Preibisch, Johannes Schindelin, myself) will
put together a new one that tests integer performance, floating-point
performance, screen updating etc. separately.
If anyone has or knows of such a benchmark already, I would appreciate
email notice of it.
Thanks again,
Albert
