Title: JRMark on Mac
Post by: Matt on February 12, 2013, 12:47:19 pm
We're spending some time tuning performance on Mac. 

The program is built from the same code on both platforms, so we are hoping for the same great performance (http://jriver.com/speed.html).

Today was the first day we tested this hope.

We're testing using a Mac Mini 2012 quad-core.  To measure performance, we're using JRMark (the benchmark built into Media Center).  You can see how Windows machines score here:

The day started with a 24 JRMark image score and 540 overall -- not good.  But some quick work on the core multi-threading system, memory allocator, and SSE assembly brought things into line. 

We're now seeing a 2757 JRMark, which is close to what the machine would get on Windows.

Here's a screenshot:

So you are more productive on a Mac!  ;D

Good job!
