What's new in Lamark 0.95.165
Sep 1, 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
New in Lamark 0.92.134 (Nov 21, 2008)
- Updated to C++ Builder 2009 Update 1
- Source portability improvements
- Other minor changes
New in Lamark 0.92.130 (Nov 4, 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.
New in Lamark 0.91.118 Beta (Oct 17, 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
New in Lamark 0.90.107 Beta (Oct 15, 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
New in Lamark 0.80.101 Beta (Oct 14, 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- Due to lack of consistency in CPU manufacturer, timmings has been replaced by the old less precise GetTickCount(), major changes has been needed to it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
New in Lamark 0.70.63 Beta (Oct 13, 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
New in Lamark 0.20.22 Beta (Sep 23, 2008)
- Version 0.20.22 Beta
- Reduced Windows memory allocation. Included CHM help file.
- Fixed EXE icon.
- Minor fixes
- Upgraded to C++ BUilder 2009
- Compressed with UPX instead of UPack to avoid AV false positives Source code available
