Huygens benchmark


To perform a benchmark on Huygens software please download the following script:


and the following image (in ICSfile Format, they are two files):


Save all three files in the same directory. Then in the Tcl Shell (Huygens Professional or Huygens Scripting) or at the Huygens Core prompt, change directory (-+cd+-) to the directory where you placed bench.tcl and the image.

For example if the files are saved on the desktop of a user named "John", type in the Tcl-shell or prompt:
cd /home/john/Desktop

Then type:
source bench.tcl

Depending on the speed of your computer this may take several minutes,
when the test run is finished, you'll see a report like the one below:


 -------------------------------------------------------
--- Huygens benchmark results on mcrp image -----------
--- Benchmark 2.0, Huygens Compute engine 3.0.0p1
-------------------------------------------------------
512*512*64 fft:      0.229
560*480*70 fft:      0.173
PSF generation:      2.027
CMLE auto padding:   33.56
QMLE auto padding:   39.25
Weighted score:      3.15
-------------------------------------------------------

The last entry is a measure of the performance of your machine, relative to a dual opteron 2200 MHz computer (which has a weighted score of 1).
