KL-BENCH
OS/2 Performance Tests
(c)copyright 1995 K.LUKEN
KLBENCH is a suite of system performance tests that will
help you determine the performance of an individual
sub-system or the overall balance of all the sub-systems
working together. KLBENCH consistes of VIDEO, DISK and
MEMORY/CPU tests that can be run in a truly multitasking
scenario to fully stress your OS/2 configuration.
KLBENCH requires the VROBJ.DLL version 2 file dated
1/26/94 or later. I have included it in the .ZIP
file. If you have a newer version be sure to use that
version first. If you do not already have the VROBJ.DLL
file then be sure to copy the one supplied to a
subdirectory in that is included in your LIBPATH=
statement in the OS/2 CONFIG.SYS. Typically this should
be \OS2\DLL.
Versions of KLBENCH prior to 1.00 have expirations after
which they will no longer function. Unregistered copies
will not allow concurrent (multitasking) testing and will
NOT allow you to save log files. Once testing is started
it can NOT be stopped until complete. It may take up to
5 seconds after all tests are complete before the main
menu will respond, this is normal!
The 2 BMP files MUST be in the same directory with KLBENCH
or you get erroneous results on the video tests!!
If you substitute your own bitmaps then your results
will NOT be of any value when compared to systems
using the standard supplied bitmaps!
** NOTE:
KLBENCH uses OS/2 REXX which MUST be installed
on your system for KLBENCH to function. REXX is
part of the standard OS/2 install unless you
specifically delete it.
** DISCLAIMER:
The results generated by KLBENCH are NOT precise
actual measurements of hardware performance.
The reults are instead a value generated by the testing
that includes OS/2 and REXX overhead. These numbers
should in no way be used in comparison against
results of other OS/2 or non-OS/2 benchmarks.
These results are only valid when compared to
other results from a system using the SAME VERSION
of KLBENCH.
KL-BENCH 2.0 is planned for mid 1995 release. It will be rewritten
in C to provide more accurate statistics! The FREE preliminary TEXT based
engines for KL-BENCH 2.0 can be downloaded from numerous places
including COMPUSERVE as KLB150.ZIP
Registration:
KLBENCH can be registered for $10 if received prior to 8/1/94,
