Arauna: Real-time Ray Tracing Benchmark - Post your Results

[mAJORD]

Post your Arauna Ray tracing CPU Results


This is carried over from THIS thread here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=242204 ..

We decided to create a new thread for results of this Little Demo / Bench.
After seeing the above Time of Light Thread on XS, The man behind the Arauna Ray tracing engine has kindly made this little Benchmark up, that runs through a 3D map rendered using Ray Tracing on your CPU. This also runs correctly on all Modern CPU's.

So a big thanks to Jacco Bikker for the Bench, and to TalonMan for bring our attn to this neat renderer.

Please note at no time is the GPU used for this bench.

"Arauna is a real-time ray tracer. Its primary goal is to render realistic 3D images of virtual worlds, using geometry, materials and lights"

Features:

* Real-time ray tracing of large triangle meshes (up to 2M per 1GB of memory)
* Full HDR pipeline with post-processing for HDR glow
* Recursive reflection and refraction
* Accurate shadows from an unlimited amount of point lights
* Texturing with bilinear filtering and normal mapping
* Support for dynamic objects
* Unlimited light sources (though the number of lights affecting one pixel should be limited)
* Full Phong shading model (ambient, diffuse, specular) with attenuation
* Hand-tuned SIMD code for extremely efficient ray tracing and shading
* Loads OBJ files for meshes and TGA files for textures




DOWNLOAD:
Latest package HERE: http://igad.nhtv.nl/~bikker/files/arauna_bench.zip

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Download package, and extract files into Arauna Folder.

2. Run Benchmark.exe, and ENSURE YOU DONT HIT ANT KEYS during the benchmark.

3. The program will take you through the map, and record Frames renderd. the loop takes about 2minutes, then will instantly start over.

At this point, the LAST CYCLE counter will freeze, and the FRAMES counter will reset and begin counting again. THE LAST CYCLE reading IS YOUR RESULT.
For best results however, you need to let it run through a 2nd Cycle, The next reading should always be higher. I have found 2 cycles is enough, further runs should have no increase in score.

4. POST A SCREENSHOT OF YOUR RESULT, And include System Details

* Pls State exact frequency during benchmark if using Turbo mode on your CPU!!

Further notes:

* This Benchmark is Multithreaded. It's been found to have good results up to 8 cores, but varying success beyond this. Please post your findings

New findings:
* Memory Bandwidth is VERY important, as is the whole Cache-memory controller susbsystem : Aside from aiming for low latency, high frequency:
*Core 2 Owners.. Push that FSB
*Athlon/ Phenom / Core ix Owners, push that CPU-NB aka UNcore!.

makes a bit difference and is crucial at high clockspeeds.
