Has anyone run the TIME_TEST2 program on an SGI Octane?
We are considering the purchase of an Octane but are wondering
how the performance compares with a Macintosh G3.
Thanks,

I am currently still working on a speed survey. Contributions are
welcome. I don't have any results for the newer Macs, however, so these
would be especially valuable. I expect to post the results next week
(~30 entries so far).
For those of you who don't have it, the form to use for entry is:
Make : (Make of your computer)
Processor/Speed : (Processor and speed + number of processors if >1)
Memory : (Amount of RAM in Mb)
OS : (Operating System, including version)
IDL Version : (Version of IDL used)
Video Hardware : (Video Hardware, if Known)
tt2 -- mean/geom : (Mean (= total/23) and geometric mean of time_test2)
gt2 : (Mean (= total/4) and geometric mean of
graphics_times2)
tt2 -- test 23 : (Result of tt2 test 23 (Disk I/O -- see below))
A few notes: Use time_test2 on the latest version of IDL you have.
Make sure to cd to a local partition (i.e. not a network partition, /tmp
usually is safe on unix-like systems) before running the test, or your
disk i/o results will be very skewed.
