sphere benchmarks on VTK Quality WinNT machine

[Miller, James V (CRD)]

Here are the results of the sphere benchmark on the WinNT box we use in the nightly regression tests
of vtk ( http://vtk.scorec.rpi.edu/Nightly/MostRecentResults/Dashboard.html
<http://vtk.scorec.rpi.edu/Nightly/MostRecentResults/Dashboard.html> ).  The test machine is a dual
processor Pentium II 300 with 128 MB of RAM and running WinNT 4 SP4.  The enclosed results are from
two different graphics cards.  The first set is from an AccelEclipse II board.  This board was used
for vtk testing up until July 2, 1999.  The second set of results is from a Permedia3 Create! board.
This board has been used for vtk testing since July 2, 1999. This second board is roughly as fast as
the AccelEclipse II (the AccelEclipse II board is 15 months old).  The main deviation in performance
is in rendering a "small" number of large triangles.  When rendering large numbers of small
triangles, the two boards are roughly the same speed.
 
 
These tests were run using vtk version 2.4.0, vtk source $Revision: 1.212, $Date: 1999/07/01. The
results are from a build that was not optimized.  However, Optimized build results were approximately
equivalent.
