A.I.B.B.
Amiga Intuition Based Benchmarks
Program Release Version 4.0
Copyright 1991,1992 LaMonte Koop
This version of AIBB is a complete re-write from the original code
used for the previous versions 1-3. Being that this is the case, it
is quite important that the documentation be read thoroughly in order
to completely understand all aspects of the program performance.
Primary new features to this version include:
-- Improved CPU/FPU clock speed evaluation code. Earlier versions
had a great many problems in this area, primarily due to a
misplaced NOP instruction wreaking havoc with the timings.
-- Enhanced/additional tests. Some tests in earlier versions were
proven to be non-useful in any real form and were removed.
The remaining tests were enhanced and refined, and new tests
were added to further complete the package.
-- Improved system information. More pertinent information is
given towards evaluation of AIBB's benchmark performance.
-- Module save/load capability. AIBB now incorporates the ability
to create "load modules" consisting of saved test/machine
evaluations. These modules may be loaded into AIBB at convienience
and used within comparisons. This is an effort to allow
comparisons across many machine types, rather than restricting
them to in-built figures. A set of internal defaults is included.
-- AIBB has been made more "aware" of the system it is operating
on and will attempt to keep users informed of situations which
may prove detrimental to performance analysis.
Further description of these and other features is found in the main
documentation.
