Hello all,
Microsoft released build 1218 of the AMD64bit version of Windows, so
I downloaded the 64bit version of POV 3.6 and gave her a run. My machine
is home built; AMD64 3200+, 1gb ram, dual-booting between 32 and 64 bit
version of Windows XP Pro. I ran the built-in benchmark under nearly
identical conditions:
POV64bit:
Total Scene Processing Times
Parse Time: 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds (1 seconds)
Photon Time: 0 hours 0 minutes 36 seconds (36 seconds)
Render Time: 0 hours 24 minutes 53 seconds (1493 seconds)
Total Time: 0 hours 25 minutes 30 seconds (1530 seconds)
CPU time used: kernel 0.98 seconds, user 1528.94 seconds, total 1529.92
seconds
Render averaged 96.38 PPS over 147456 pixels
POV32bit:
Total Scene Processing Times
Parse Time: 0 hours 0 minutes 1 seconds (1 seconds)
Photon Time: 0 hours 0 minutes 44 seconds (44 seconds)
Render Time: 0 hours 28 minutes 59 seconds (1739 seconds)
Total Time: 0 hours 29 minutes 44 seconds (1784 seconds)
CPU time used: kernel 0.48 seconds, user 1777.92 seconds, total 1778.41
seconds
Render averaged 82.91 PPS over 147456 pixels
I have the full results if anyone is interested. Overall I'm very
pleased with the increased performance of POV64. :)
