Our group is considering replacing our 2500T workstations with
Personal Iris workstations. Can anyone comment on the following
questions? Mail repsonses directly to me and I'll summarize the
responses in a subsequent post.
- How do the two workstations compare in terms of raw
compute power and graphics speed? Our application will
consist of simulating mobile robots over rough terrain.
The terrain will be ~10,000 flat shaded polygons.
- Given the above specifications, what sort of frame rate can
we reasonably expect?
- How important is having Z-buffer capability for our application?
Are higher frame rates achieved by using Z-buffer or some BSP
algorithm?
Thanks for your help...
