[comp.sys.hp] 825 I/O benchmark...

jeffh@weycord.WEYCO.COM (05/16/88)

Here are some good numbers for I/O. The benchmarks were completed
with an 825 and a 350. Both systems were idle. The instrument
used in the test was an hp3565 digital signal processing system.
The hp36565 is rated at 900K bytes per second.

Here goes:


			     825                   350
Address device to talk:      .004 Sec.             .000168

( bytes/sec. )
100 byte transfer    read:   13,063                 31,565
		    write:   18,642                168,918

10,000 byte transfer read:  416,614                408,874
		    write:  453,658                409,170

65536 byte transfer  read:  564,590                408,870
		    write:  612,497                410,158

100,000 byte transfer read:  (1)                   408,876
			     (1)                   413,210

(1) The 825 locked up on transfers greater than a 16 bit short- thus,
    the 65536 test? Sure hope someone plans on fixing it!!


Here is one math benchmark. The test performed a frequency response 
calculation ( in polar coordinates )- The results are returned in
dBV/Deg on a 512 complex block:

			    825                      350

                           .056                     .077     (sec.)
DISCLAIMER

As with ALL benchmarks the above results should be taken with a grain
of salt.
