Benchmarking

RF4 performance chart.

This benchmarking chart gives some comparative simulation times on different machines, using a standard scene especially set-up to make maximum use of multi-threading. Please note that this is chart is not designed to compare hardware brands or be used for product comparison. If you would like to participate in the benchmarking then please fell free to download the scene. You can post us your results here.

  • Make sure no other application is running otherwise the test might be affected.
  • Open a command line/terminal and go to the RealFlow4 installation folder. Type the following command realflow -nogui -threads # "c:\scenes\BreakingDam.flw" and hit enter to simulate.
  • Once the simulation has finished, check the command line/terminal and post your results.

    Note: # would be the number of threads on your system and " c:\scenes\Benchtest.flw " should point to the recently downloaded .flw file

To find information more easily, you can now sort the benchmarking table by categories. Click on the table headings to re-order the contents
