An approximately 800-faceted reflective polyhedron is created, subjected to multicolor light sources, and set to rotating. On my 2 GHz laptop, I get 1.6 rotations per minute. Can your computer beat my laptop?

I note similar results reported 5 years earlier on 'inferior' hardware.

2.91RPM, Dell T3400 workstation, Win XP. I'm surprised the MACs are rotating that slow with the graphics they display, but maybe that is why... Have to run it on my Vista machine, which has more intensive graphics.

it's a good idea but saying 2.5 rotations per minute is a meaningless as randomly saying 4 cows to the left unless u have something to compare it with!!!

Nice little demo - I got 2.51 rpm with my Dell Inspiron B130 with 1.5 GHz and 1.24 GB RAM Win XP Home SP2 running Matlab R2007a and using the Mobile Intel 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express video card chipset.
I attained 2.92 rpms on my Dell Laptop duo core T2050 @1.60 GHz, 1GB RAM, ATI X1300 mobility graphics
great little comparison tool. I got 2.4 rpms on my apple macbook pro (2GB mem, 2.2Ghz) running vista and matlab 7.5.0.
Cristian, it appears that you tried to cut and paste the innards of this function and run them as a script. This function has subfunctions, so you have to use the more customary approach of downloading the whole m-file and then calling the m-file from the command line.
??? Undefined function or variable 'con2vert'.
4.68 on a custom build Core 2 Duo 6700, nvidia fx 1500 256 MB card, 4 GB of ram.
2.46 on 3.2GHz Intel P4, ATI Radeon 9000 AGP. Great measuring ap!

2.83. Dual Core Athlon 3800 x2, ati radeon 9550 128MB, 1GB ram
Got 2.28 on my Dell Pentium 4 desktop (2.8 GHz clock and 1G RAM).
Cool.
Got 3.23 on my laptop (AMD 64 bit-processor) .
2.20 ratation on my machine
2.1 rpm on IBM R40 laptop
PentiumM/1.6GHz/1GB/Radeon7500 (w/32MB)

Nice work!!
2.77 rotations per minute (asymptotic..fan was roaring by then :-)!)
Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M1425 (laptop)
Centrino 1.6GHz / 512MB / ATI Radeon 9700M (w 128MB onboard RAM)
Nice. 1.1 rotations on my machine:

Excellent job.
I got 2.15 rotations per minute in my pc with
2.8 GHz and 512 RAM.
