Short: P96/CGFX v1.2 graphics benchmark program Author: Jens Langner Uploader: Jens Langner Version: 1.2 Type: gfx/board Description: ~~~~~~~~~~~ P96Speed is a graphics benchmark program. It will test standard graphics routines of graphics and intuition library. It is absolutly independent and should work with any known graphics system like Picasso96/CyberGraphX or simply on standard AGA screens. You can also compare different systems with P96Speed. Please report any problem or suggestion directly to me. Jens Langner.... htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de http://p96speed.home.pages.de/ Requirements: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Kickstart and Workbench 2.0 (V36+) - Motorola MC68020 processor or better, - gtlayout.library v16+ (Olaf Barthel) - identify.library v8+ (Richard Koerber) P96Speed is EMailware. This means, if you are using this program you have to write a email to me (htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de). Short history: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1.2 (February 10, 1999) February 10, 1999 - after a long night I removed a mungwall hit which was caused by a bad initialized timer.device. This hit corrupted the memlist which often ends up in random crashes. (Jens Tröger) February 09, 1999 - found/removed a enforcer hit which happened on using the menu shortcuts. February 08, 1999 - added french localization. (Pascal Chiozzi) - added russian localization. (Russian Amiga Translation Organization) - found/removed bug in the locale initialization which caused weird pointers that sometimes hung the system. - found/removed ugly bug in the load IFF routines where I didn`t terminated strings correctly. February 06, 1999 - found/removed bug which caused recoverable alerts on "reload database" (Rene. W. Olsen) February 04, 1999 - reordered the shortcuts(Hotkeys) for the testroutines to be more simple (Niels Knoop) - hopefully removed the ugly GUI bug when switching the Pagegroups, the standard buttons got corrupt. (Niels Knoop) - fixed the installscript to work correctly with the new installer (SaVInstaller) (Jens Tröger) February 02, 1999 - reordered the testroutines in the "compare machine" register and also added the forgotten difference field. (Niels Knoop) 1.1 (January 30, 1999) January 28, 1999 - removed the requirement of the identify.library introduced with the v1.0 version. Now you can also use P96Speed without this library, but a warningrequester will pop up. (Tobias Abt) January 27, 1999 - implemented new testroutine Draw() Hor/Ver, that tests the speed of drawing horizontal and vertical Lines. (Niels Knoop) December, 1998 - disabled multitasking for ScrollRaster() routines. - doublechecked all drawroutines again to be sure to NOT draw outside the RastPort which caused crashes with WritePixelLine8(). - modified the way that all tests are run. Now the screen will not close and open everytime if you running "Run all tests." - The Draw() testroutine will now draw a circle to test the speed. This way of testing Draw() is more "standard" ;) - WritePixel() will now draw all pixel on random colors. - included some more error-checks - added a requester to tell the user that he/she is trying to load an incompatible version of a database. - removed bug on the autoselection of the screenmode. - changed the BuildEasyRequesters to act as v2.0+ EasyRequest requesters. (Jens Tröger) - using my best friends tools lib "savage.lib" with many useful functions. (Jens Tröger) - removed a ugly bug in the list/node handling (Jens Tröger) 1.0 (December 8, 1998) November, 1998 - bumped version up to v1.00 because P96Speed is final now. All known bugs should be removed. Please report any bugs who are left directly to: htw10895@informatik.htw-dresden.de - recompiled P96Speed with StormC v3.0 all future versions of P96Speed will be compiled with StormC 0.18ß (internal release) October, 1998 - added feature to also select the source machine for the comparsion. - added feature to select the comparsion machine directly from the comparsion page. - added long awaited locale support. Now every guy can tune his own translation (P96Speed.cd included) - fixed bug in the ScreenTitle allocation. - forgot to free some memory in the list/node routines - added more information to the database like Owner, E-mail etc. - removed ugly bug in the TAB_KIND notification with the AutoPageID feature of gtlayout. (Olaf Barthel) - rewritten the IFFParse routines completly from scratch. Implemented it in a way that future versions of P96Speed will stay compatible in the file format. Earlier versions ( < 0.18ß) are now incompatible with the file format of the compare datas. Iam sorry for that but this change was needed to keep the format compatible in future versions. - added feature to sort the entries in the database (Top/Up/Down/Bottom). - Now you can directly choose a screenmode if the programm requests you for one. - Changed the way the save button will be handled. It will change its name in the different pagegroups. - Changed the layout of the GUI a little bit to solve problems with long strings - again optimzed the timing routine that calculates the executed operations per second. - now P96Speed uses GetSysTime() instead of requesting Time with TR_GETSYSTIME this should make the tests more accurate. - removed bug in the WritePixelLine8() routine. The lines were drawn outside the rastport what results in some crashes on PAL Screens. ... more history in .guide file ... ============================= Archive contents ============================= Original Packed Ratio Date Time Name -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- ------------- 1796 1229 31.5% 06-Nov-98 22:45:14 P96Speed.info 4136 1727 58.2% 06-Feb-99 15:04:28 +deutsch.ct 8464 3768 55.4% 18-Oct-98 15:38:06 +Identify.catalog 3056 1479 51.6% 06-Feb-99 15:06:26 +P96Speed.catalog 3158 1531 51.5% 06-Feb-99 16:33:52 +P96Speed.catalog 4501 1865 58.5% 06-Feb-99 15:04:22 +P96Speed.cd 3052 1628 46.6% 07-Feb-99 22:27:18 +P96Speed.catalog 3552 1265 64.3% 06-Feb-99 14:13:40 +Compare.dat 737 380 48.4% 08-Nov-98 22:32:16 +Install_Deutsch.info 730 379 48.0% 06-Nov-98 23:49:50 +Install_English.info 16370 4108 74.9% 04-Feb-99 11:31:42 +InstallP96Speed 107684 62948 41.5% 11-Jul-98 18:38:12 +gtlayout.library 22420 18190 18.8% 15-Nov-98 16:50:40 +identify.library 83108 28867 65.2% 10-Feb-99 02:31:14 +P96Speed 19385 7224 62.7% 10-Feb-99 02:34:34 +P96Speed.guide 1686 1094 35.1% 06-Nov-98 22:45:14 +P96Speed.guide.info 1991 1342 32.5% 29-Jan-99 00:00:28 +P96Speed.info 6092 2518 58.6% 10-Feb-99 02:40:30 +P96Speed.readme 545 333 38.8% 06-Nov-98 22:47:16 +Translators.readme 1236 784 36.5% 06-Nov-98 22:45:14 +Translators.readme.info 58 58 0.0% 10-Feb-99 02:37:22 +Version -------- ------- ----- --------- -------- 293757 142717 51.4% 10-Feb-99 19:10:04 21 files
