ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
infoPM
infoPM is a little tool should help you in detecting system information and
benchmarking your hardware

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. infoPM Pages ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The following describes the pages and the values displayed
A word to benchmarks
Benchmarks are usually very dependant to the CPU, the compiler, the operating
system, and so on, therefore it is unuseful to compare benchmarks like
dhrystones/whetstones between machines(Amiga-PC) (or even operating systems),
although it gives you a rough idea of what your machine is capable of
A word to the system information values
Some of the system information values seem very technical or cryptic. These
values make more sense to a programmer, so do not worry if you do not quite
understand everything.
A word to Shareware
I am not a friend of "crippleware", but i have left out some features for
registered users only.
The reason is :
- i feel that registered users should have an advantage over unregistered
users (since they paid money)
- i believe that not every user is honest and will register (this shows the DL
ratio from CIS and various BBS's where various of my software is contantly
DL'd the same number of times, but only around 5 percent ever register, this
means 95 percent DL and never register!) (therefore i do not feel bad about
leaving out some features..)

CPU time) their User time (within all "running" USER time) and other
information
When pressing the "kill" button you may kill a specified process. After the
process was killed, the page will refresh after 1 second to show you the new
process status
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.7. Threads ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This page shows information about all running process threads
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.8. PM information ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
All values on this page should be easy to understand
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.9. Devcaps ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
All values on this page should be easy to understand
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.10. WPS ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This page shows all registered WPS classes, and the appropriate DLL. You may
here also deregister the selected class when you press the button
"deregister".
Double-clicking on an entry will explain the wps class
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.11. Drive Info 1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This page shows all system drives, the volume label, size, free MB's,
filesystem, drive type, status, bytes per sector, number of allocation units,
number of sectors per allocation units
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.12. Drive Info 2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This page shows all partitionable disks, their size, sides, tracks and sectors
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.13. Disk Bench 1 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This diskbenchmark performs a sector to sector read and calculates various
values
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.14. Disk Bench 2 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This diskbenchmark creates a 8MB testfile and writes/reads various record
sizes within the testfile
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.15. Disk Bench 3 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This diskbenchmark create a testfile and writes various record sizes to the
testfile and through the diskcache
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.16. Disk Bench 4 ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This diskbenchmark creates a testfile and performes various read/write
operations
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.17. CPU Benchmark ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Dhrystones
The Dhrystone cpu benchmark is a mix of several instructions and functions
using integer mode operations
Hanoi
The hanoi cpu benchmark calculates the Towers of Hanoi Puzzle
Heapsort
The heapsort cpu benchmark calculates the heapsort algorithm for variable
sized arrays
Sieve
The sieve cpu benchmark calculates the Sieve of Eratosthenes for finding prime
numbers
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.18. FPU Benchmark ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
FLOPS
The Flops fpu benchmark attempts to estimate your systems floating-point
'MFLOPS' rating for the FADD, FSUB, FMUL, and FDIV operations based on
specific 'instruction mixes'
FFT's
The FFT's fpu benchmark calculates fast fourier transformations in double
precision
Linpack
The Linpack fpu benchmark calculates matrix transformations
Whetstones
The Whetstones fpu benchmark calculates various floating point operations
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.19. Grafik Benchmark ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The grafik benchmark page calculates various grafik operations
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.20. Memory Benchmark ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ

This test will only run on graphic cards with 4mb video memory
If you do not not have MMPM/2 installed, please use the program INFO_NOD.EXE
instead.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.22. Monitor test page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
For my registered users :
Color Wheel
Shows you a color wheel with all available system colors (calculation of the
wheel may take a while)
Test Pic
Shows you a test picture, similar to the one found on some tv stations to
adjust your monitor.
And YES : the circles ARE round !
To end the test picture, click with mouse button 1 and press any key.
Moire
Shows you a test picture, where you can test the moiree effect (picture should
not appear to move on good monitors)
To end the test picture, click with mouse button 1 and press any key.
White
Shows you a test picture completely white (to adjust your monitors RGB colors,
brightness)
To end the test picture, click with mouse button 1 and press any key.
Pump
Shows you a changing test picture completely white, then completely black (the
edges of the monitor should stay at the same positions on good quality
monitors)
To end the test picture, click with mouse button 1 and press any key.
Lines
Shows you a test picture with lines, here you may adjust your monitors v-size,
h-size, pin, barrel, etc..
To end the test picture, click with mouse button 1 and press any key. p.
For all shareware users (this picture should give you an idea of the
testpicture, of course it is a lot better in reality)
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.23. Config.sys page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The config sys page explains several entries of your config.sys file.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.24. About page ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
On this page a registered user may enter the name and registration number
Here you may also set the thread priority for the benchmark threads
idle time : benchmarks run with lowest possible system priority (not
recommended)
regular : benchmarks run with regular priority (like most threads in system)
time-crit : benchmarks run with highest possible system priority (this is the
most reliable test mode, but this may slow down other important programs
running)
