Thread Subject: Benchmark

Hello,

I probably going to change my loyal laptop. As I do a lot of
MATLAB computing, I'm certainly interested in knowing how
your computer scores in MATLAB bench test (I do bench(10)
and take the median the result). I'm open to all kind of OS
(Windows, Leopard, Linux, ...). Thanks in advanve,

Bruno

My machine: about 3.9.

half duplex connection is bound to be slow.)

Hi,

After a cold startup, I have run 1 initial BENCH run and
afterwards 10 times in a row with GUI Matlab with only
Command Line window and Workspace window open, as the only
programme running on my system (i.e., Finder, Dashboard,
X11, GUI MATLAB, plus Little Snitch v2, iStats Menu and
MainMenu).

Here are the average numbers over the 10 runs and without
the initial run with regard to my system:

Are all these for laptops as you indicated in your original
post?

No, all the PCs that are benchmarked in the last post are
Desktop.

Sorry for the confusion.

As others have reported here before before, a laptop
benchmark depends on how hard the CPU is/has been working
and will slow down as the CPU gets hotter and slows down.
Unless the PC _really_ needs to be portable, a desktop is a
better choice. Besides, tey are faster to begin with in
general.

(I can't say laptop without thinking of that "lapdance" BHG
song. I'm not going to say any more here, just google and
You'll find what I'm thinking of very easily)

When you post benchmark results, you should include the MATLAB version
number as we sometimes modify the problem sizes BENCH uses (particularly
when we make a major improvement and the old test takes a small fraction of
a second to run.) That's one of the reasons we suggest you not compare the
numbers returned by BENCH in two different releases -- you could be
comparing apples and pears -- related, but not quite the same.

OK Steve,

tests reported in post #8 and #12 are using MATLAB 2006B,
Compiled bench program, with median over 10 runs.

I do not find them much different from 2007B and 2008A.
