| These are the results from the previous version on the "plasma" benchmark that used to reside at http://rsb.info.nih.gov/nih-image/Java/Benchmarks/Plasma.html. That version updated a 64x64 array that was scaled to 192x192 for display where the current one updates a 160x120 array scaled to 320x240. The current version also removes a 10ms per frame delay that limited the theoretical maximum frame rate to 100 fps. Because of these differences, the frame rates shown here are not directly comparable with results from the current version. |
