New Horizons







Welcome to my blog

My name is Sven Andersson and I
work as a consultant in embedded
system design, implemented in ASIC
and FPGA.
In my spare time I write this blog
and I hope it will inspire others to
learn more about this fantastic field.
I live in Stockholm Sweden and work
for Realtime Embedded AB.

A processor benchmark
How fast is my MacBook? Let's compare it to some other computers. Here are the contanders.

 Model  Processor  Speed  Memory  Operating_System
 Compaq EVO N610c
 Pentium 4-M
 1.8 GHz
 512 MB
RedHat Rel 3.0
 SUN SunBlade 1500
 Ultra SPARC IIIi
 1.5 GHz
 1 GB
Solaris 10
 HP Proliant DL145
 AMD Opteron 200
 2.6 GHz
 32 GB
RedHat Rel 3.0
 Apple MacBook I
 Intel Duo Core
 2.0 GHz
 1 GB
 Note 1.
Mac OS X 10.47
Ubuntu 6.06
 Apple MacBook II
 Intel Duo 2 Core
 2.0 GHz
 1 GB
Note 1.
Mac OS X 10.48
Ubuntu 6.10

Note 1. On the MacBook all files are stored on the local disk. All the others have the files stored on an external file server.

The benchmark consists of two tasks. The first task uses ncvlog to compile a Xilinx macro library including 3100 Verilog files. The second task runs a verilog simulation using ncsim. Here are the results (in seconds) :

 Task  Compaq  Sun  HP  Apple I
