Lamark 0.95.165 - Changelog

What's new in Lamark 0.95.165:

September 1st, 2009

· Added GDI performance test
· Added disk performance test writting using memory mapped access if available to a file in order to assure maximum performance
· Assembly loops are now aligned in a paragraph instead of in a double word boundary, making CPU, FPU and memory benchmarks more precise
· Enhanced progress bars to be animated on the first time

What's new in Lamark 0.92.134:

November 21st, 2008

· Updated to C++ Builder 2009 Update 1
· Source portability improvements
· Other minor changes

What's new in Lamark 0.92.130:

November 4th, 2008

· Proper Hyperthreading detection, scores are not doubled anymore when it is enabled; result submission also includes CPU Speed; old 0.91 results available in the archive; trimmed extra spaces that sometimes ocurred on the information pane; other code enhancements.

What's new in Lamark 0.91.118 Beta:

October 17th, 2008

· Now users are able to submit its results and compare them with others
· Memory performance is doing writing data instead of reading, workspace has been reduced, and so minimum system requirements
· Lots of code refactoring and optimization

What's new in Lamark 0.90.107 Beta:

October 15th, 2008

· Results are normalized now to a Intel Dual Core T2330 1,6 Ghz with 2 Gb DDR2-667 memory
· Even the change in 0.80.101 requiring more elapsed time to get an accurate measure, process is now smoother
· Enhanced GetTickCount precission by using timeGetTime for better precision
· Memory size report now supports more than 3 Gb of installed memory in Windows 2000 and later
· Expanded CPU test
· Memory test, now uses a bigger testing workspace

What's new in Lamark 0.80.101 Beta:

October 14th, 2008

· Important bug introduced in 0.50.45 calculating elapsed time was fixed (not taking care of performance counter frequency), it produced totally wrong results
· Due to lack of consistency in CPU manufacturer, timmings has been replaced by the old less precise GetTickCount(), major changes has been needed to it
· Memory test uses MMX if available, else it uses and improved x86 code
· Rewritten CPU benchmark to make it more complete and paralelizable
· Added loop alignments to all tests to homogenize results and maximize throughtput
· F1 for help file

What's new in Lamark 0.70.63 Beta:

October 13th, 2008

· Compacted user interface, 1024x768 is not needed anymore
· Run in high priority
· Removed hourglass pointer
· Improved task scheduling
· Link to home page
· Memory information

What's new in Lamark 0.20.22 Beta:

September 23rd, 2008
