How to benchmark Rhino

[a.balci (Aytac)]

I want to benchmark Rhino 6 (and 5) on different computers with different hardware.
How would you benchmark or measure the performance of Rhino on different systems?
I have some use case scenarios in my mind, but I have no idea how to measure it in a standardised way.
It should be some form of complex (parametric) modelling and rendering and maybe pushing almost the system. I know from experience that a little change in a parameter in a complex Grasshopper can cause Rhino and/or Grasshopper to become unresponsive, but becomes almost always responsive again after a while. In general, with better hardware it becomes faster responsive.

I hope you have ideas/suggestions how to perform a controlled, reproducible benchmarking for Rhino on different Windows systems.

Holomark2_R6

Hi guys! Holomark2_R6 is ready to test! But be warned! It can take as much as 10 minutes to complete on high end systems!!! Since I have had too much to do lately I have not been able to finish off Holomark3 yet, so after a lot of pretty-please’s I descided to rewrite Holomark2 so it supports Rhino 6 properly. It is a little bit cooler though, since Rhino 6 is cooler and faster I decided to put some (cool - pun intended) white flames on the mini and paint the car black, lower it a bit and ad…

Holomark 2 Released!

Ok guys, I hope most of the bugs are ironed out now. Here’s what’s updated: New faster spin test Fixed disappearing red line Holomark2 is now an install file, so it’s easier to install. Just download, run and type Holomark2 within Rhino. A new Graph visually shows the scores compared to a Synthetic Average. It checks what language Rhino is running in and shows a warning if it’s not English. The mini file is now write protected and imported into Holomark2, so you don’t accidentally alters it…

Cheers

Here’s a thought starter for an additional metric to add to Holomark 3.

So… below is what I get when launching in Rhino 6 after downloading from FoodForRhino > holomark > download or when I download from http://www.holomark.com/.

Any ideas how to get the newly updated Holomark2_R6?
