  • Overview of the SPEC Benchmarks
    9 Overview of the SPEC Benchmarks Kaivalya M. Dixit IBM Corporation “The reputation of current benchmarketing claims regarding system performance is on par with the promises made by politicians during elections.” Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) was founded in October, 1988, by Apollo, Hewlett-Packard,MIPS Computer Systems and SUN Microsystems in cooperation with E. E. Times. SPEC is a nonprofit consortium of 22 major computer vendors whose common goals are “to provide the industry with a realistic yardstick to measure the performance of advanced computer systems” and to educate consumers about the performance of vendors’ products. SPEC creates, maintains, distributes, and endorses a standardized set of application-oriented programs to be used as benchmarks. 489 490 CHAPTER 9 Overview of the SPEC Benchmarks 9.1 Historical Perspective Traditional benchmarks have failed to characterize the system performance of modern computer systems. Some of those benchmarks measure component-level performance, and some of the measurements are routinely published as system performance. Historically, vendors have characterized the performances of their systems in a variety of confusing metrics. In part, the confusion is due to a lack of credible performance information, agreement, and leadership among competing vendors. Many vendors characterize system performance in millions of instructions per second (MIPS) and millions of floating-point operations per second (MFLOPS). All instructions, however, are not equal. Since CISC machine instructions usually accomplish a lot more than those of RISC machines, comparing the instructions of a CISC machine and a RISC machine is similar to comparing Latin and Greek. 9.1.1 Simple CPU Benchmarks Truth in benchmarking is an oxymoron because vendors use benchmarks for marketing purposes.

  • An Introduction to Morphos
    An Introduction to MorphOS Updated to include features to version 1.4.5 May 14, 2005 MorphOS 1.4 This presentation gives an overview of MorphOS and the features that are present in the MorphOS 1.4 shipping product. For a fully comprehensive list please see the "Full Features list" which can be found at: www.PegasosPPC.com Why MorphOS? Modern Operating Systems are powerful, flexible and stable tools. For the most part, if you know how to look after them, they do their job reasonably well. But, they are just tools to do a job. They've lost their spark, they're boring. A long time ago computers were fun, it is this background that MorphOS came from and this is what MorphOS is for, making computers fun again. What is MorphOS? MorphOS is a fully featured desktop Operating System for PowerPC CPUs. It is small, highly responsive and has very low hardware requirements. The overall structure of MorphOS is based on a new modern kernel called Quark and a structure divided into a series of "boxes". This system allows different OS APIs to be used along side one another but isolates them so one cannot compromise the other. To make sure there is plenty of software to begin with the majority of development to date has been based on the A- BOX. In the future the more advanced Q-Box shall be added. Compatibility The A-Box is an entire PowerPC native OS layer which includes source and binary compatibility with software for the Commodore A500 / A1200 etc.

Tarolli Interviewed by: Shayne Hodge Recorded: July 29, 2013 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X6887.2013 © 2013 Computer History Museum 3dfx Oral History Panel Shayne Hodge: OK. My name is Shayne Hodge. This is July 29, 2013 at the afternoon in the Computer History Museum. We have with us today the founders of 3dfx, a graphics company from the 1990s of considerable influence. From left to right on the camera-- I'll let you guys introduce yourselves. Gary Tarolli: I'm Gary Tarolli. Scott Sellers: I'm Scott Sellers. Ross Smith: Ross Smith. Gordon Campbell: And Gordon Campbell. Hodge: And so why don't each of you take about a minute or two and describe your lives roughly up to the point where you need to say 3dfx to continue describing them. Tarolli: All right. Where do you want us to start? Hodge: Birth. Tarolli: Birth. Oh, born in New York, grew up in rural New York. Had a pretty uneventful childhood, but excelled at math and science. So I went to school for math at RPI [Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute] in Troy, New York. And there is where I met my first computer, a good old IBM mainframe that we were just talking about before [this taping], with punch cards. So I wrote my first computer program there and sort of fell in love with computer. So I became a computer scientist really. So I took all their computer science courses, went on to Caltech for VLSI engineering, which is where I met some people that influenced my career life afterwards.

  • Simulation of Turbulent Flow in Computer Graphics: Applications
    Simulation of Turbulent Flow in Computer Graphics: Applications and Optimizations Ian Buck Princeton University, Department of Computer Science Indep endent Work for COS 397 Advisor : Perry R. Co ok www.cs.princeton.edu/~ ianbuck/turbulent January 5, 1998 Abstract The basis for the rst part of this work was to explore what is involved in simulating turbulent ow using an already existing mathematical mo del. This includes implementing a complete optimized C version of the mo del and simulating owmodelssuch as acoustical instruments. The second part of this work explores alternative metho ds of calculation for ow simulation using the graphics hardware as a mathematical engine. We present a few di erent metho ds to use the accelerated framebu er to p erform some of the calculations required in ow simulation. Part I Simulating Turbulent Flow 1 Intro duction Research in application of uid ow simulation has been an active topic in computer graphics for over a decade. Such visual e ects as simulated smoke, re, and liquids are all typically based on top of a mathematical mo del which graphics researchers have b een trying to improve through to day. There have been endless pap ers published in the ACM SIGGRAPH pro ceedings in '97, '95, '93, '91, '90, and continuing back through '86 with a pap er dedicated to how the swirling atmosphere of Jupiter was simulated for the movie \2010" (Yeager et al, 1986). The primary diculty in creating such visually stimulating e ects, suchas simple candle smoke isthatanintensive computational simulation is required. To provide results which app ear accurate, such calculations can b e extensive and quite slow.

  • Drop Menu Magic User Guide
    Drop Menu Magic (DMM) by PVII DMM is a ground-breaking automatically responsive menu. We like it so much we use it on the PVII site. In a normal browser window, the menu items are horizontally arranged and each can include a horizontal sub-menu that drops down—with or without one of several very cool animations. When you make your window skinny, or when you view your page in a smartphone, the menu magically transforms into a perfectly configured accordion. We hope you enjoy using this product as much as we did making it.
