Along while ago, with the new g4's out, someone had a G4 fractil test to be used with the g4. I have looked and looked, but to no avail I can't find it. Does anyone know where I can get it at again?

Thanks...

My G4 only acchived 1.4 gigaflops on that and it's a DP450. :-(

1.184 GFlops with IE 5.0 open, on a sawtooth G4 350

2.641 Gigaflops on my new 733 with Explorer open. I have 768 megs of RAM, does that make a difference?

1.7 GigaFlops on my Cube 500.

1.33 GigaFlops on my G4/350 Sawtooth with IE5 running. Not too bad for an OLD machine

Norm1985 · Mar 10, 2001, 01:50 AM

1.7 gigaflops last test... Still... It should go about 3 gigaflops... :-(

I did it again, (without quitting the program) and got 350-something MEGAflops ?!?!?

I think the program's screwy.

Norm, don't sweat it. If you noticed it's only testing processor 0. It doesn't have support for both processors. So take your 1.7 and double it. You'll get your 3 flops easy.

I did it several times and I got between 1.7943 and 1.9388 gigaflops off of one processor.

I get 1.4 gigaflops on my G4-450 Sawtooth with CoolCam, Hotline, ICQ, and Netscape running. 448 megs of memory, VM turned off.

Power Mac G4 400/128 MB RAM => 1381.3 MFlops (~1.4GFlops) @ ColorSpeed 100 & Max. Count 8192

Running MS Entourage, Internet Explorer 5, ICQ2.5b in the background

There is no DP support. You would prabably get better than 2x the flops with DP support because the other G4 is just sitting idle and does nothing while the tested one has the system running on it all the time.

Fyre4ce · Mar 10, 2001, 12:59 PM

Blah! Ran it on a G3/400 (Pismo) and got 330 MFlops! I know I don't have AltiVec, but still, I expected better...

Just to make you all feel better: 275.1 Megaflops on a 333 MHz G3.

Ruddigger · Mar 10, 2001, 02:06 PM

Nevermind m last post, I'd accidentally disabled Altivev before I ran it again.

I guess it proves that the G4 really is ony faster then a G3 in Altivec supported apps like PShop.

Hey, here's the cool/interesting thing.

I get about 1380-1400 megaflops on my DP450 with 384 megs of ram in OS 9.1.

I booted up classic, ran it in OSX 4k33, and I get an average of 1500-1600 megaflops.... how can we explain this? I'm pretty sure its not the 2nd processor kicking in - this program is probably not multithreaded, right?

I just thought that was real interesting. If somebody can explain this, please do, I'm very interested, and curious to say the least.

Joe Cool · Mar 10, 2001, 02:34 PM

Yeah I noticed that Classic performs better. It is probably because some of the emulated parts of classic are enhanced for the G4. I don't know but props for Apple on that.

1.4 - 1.6 gigaflops on my iMac rev C with G4 433/256 mb ram

290.7 MegaFlops on iMac 400MHz/128Mb RAM.

I wanna a G4!

dante · Mar 10, 2001, 06:14 PM

Hey PeteL, how'd you get a G4 in your iMac?

OS X is just shuffling classic (which is a very bare bones OS 9 plus everything else you're running in it) onto one processor and everything else (like the actual overheard of an operating system) on to the other, so the fractal program gets more processor time than if you were running OS 9.

I'd love to see a carbon/cocoa version of this...

172.6 MegaFlops on a 604e processor (Powermac 7300/180 Mhz) with netscape open. What a lethal weapon!!!

In the first 3 iMac revisions the processor was not soldered to the motherboard. A couple companies make iMac G4 upgrades, Powerlogix and Newertech (well now just powerlogix) I have the newertech one
