Performance of a ray-tracing software on different hardware configurations

Description

A dataset containing performance data for a ray-tracing benchmark.

Format

A data frame with 11 rows on 2 variables

Details

The benchmark measured the number of ray-geometry intersections per second. The data was gathered on an SGI Origin 2000 with 64 R12000 processors running at 300 MHz.

The data frame contains the following variables:

• processors The number of CPUs used for the benchmark (1–64).

• throughput The number of operations per second.
