happy benchmarking.

Hi Andronikos,
I hope this would be helpful for your benchmark collection.
I can't stand waiting it (skydome) after 3 hours on my PIII and
rendered it at the office with the following config:

P4 2.6 HT + 1 GB RAM

MAXWELL 1_1_30_0001_alpha_ ( Engine core: rs1b )
[ Physically and Unbiased Based Rendering ]
## Scene Information ##
44 meshes ( 37798 triangles )
## Render Information ##
*settings:
resolution: 640 x 480
*render time: 1 hours 41 minutes 26 seconds
normal quality mode
target sampling level: 15
sampling level reached: 15
MaxwellBench 1.0: 22.436264

EDIT: The above test used 1 THREAD

oh damn... you're right... the above was for 1 THREAD.
really sorry... i didn't pay attention to it and directly sent the job without any parameters... now it's re-rendering with 2 THREADS and i'll post it when finished.

thank you hrothgar...

Hi Andronikos,
I hope you haven't receaved any results from this type of system yet, I was a little disipointed when I saw the numbers. With the default settings do you know if it's using one or both of the processors? The default is set to only use one thread, don't know if that makes a difference. :lol:

hmmm, M~R needs some optimization here, I guess.

nope hrothgar, the best results (fastest) are achieved with 4 threads on my machine.
You can see it in detail here: http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/view ... c&start=15

Ok, I'll try it with 2 & 4 threads and well see if performance gets better :D

my recomendation to all users! no matter what cpu you have! ....try with 8 or 16 !!!! (do not expect much speed difference but it helps a bit) ...especially if you have dual Xeons HTon...
