[Radiance-dev] Mark Stock's benchmark on native Windows Radiance (time command)

2013-07-10 Thread Guy Vaessen
There is a 'time' command in Windows! No need to install anything! See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIME_(command) There even is a nice time bat-file on Stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/673523/how-to-measure-execution-time-of-command-in-windows-command-line To run Mark Stock

I favor xform with no options for this job; if the system has Radiance, I expect it will have xform, regardless of what other commands are or are not available. But, YMMV. Randolph ___ Radiance-dev mailing list Radiance-dev@radiance-online.org

Redirecting the input works better on both Windows and Unix than cat, to my earlier point. -Greg Sent from my iPad On Jun 28, 2013, at 4:58 PM, Randolph M. Fritz randolph...@panix.com wrote: Rob Guglielmetti rob.guglielmetti@... writes: I am silly. This vestigial code is still in

Greg, Randolph, I admit that my use of cat is simply habit---I saw it once (probably over 15 years ago) and never let go of it. I am actually not as savvy with Unix as I am on TV. By all means make the benchmark as portable as you can and send me the changes. I will incorporate them as soon

I am silly. This vestigial code is still in OpenStudio, for Radiance Classic calcs with a continuous sky: catCommand = cat if /mswin/.match(RUBY_PLATFORM) or /mingw/.match(RUBY_PLATFORM) catCommand = type end system(#{catCommand} ./numeric/#{space_name}.map | rtrace #{rtrace_args} …) In this

Mark, I've seen lots of people use it, probably because it fits what people expect to see in an inline command more than the stdin redirection. I think there are even some examples in Rendering with Radiance using it, so you're in good company... Cheers, -Greg From: Mark Stock

Has anyone got this going? (Yes! I have managed to get it built and installed. No, I have no idea if it is actually working. More, later, when I've tested the thing.) Randolph ___ Radiance-dev mailing list Radiance-dev@radiance-online.org

Side note on the use of !cat I often see things like this: !cat input1.rad input2.rad | xform -ry 20 Which is completely silly. Why not just use: !xform -ry 20 input1.rad input2.rad Even if you are going to a program that expects input on stdin, you can redirect it instead: !fussy_program

I am pleased to be able to say that, in fact, I ran a successful simulation. My hasty hack compilations of libtiff 3.9.7 (the last version 3 libtiff) and zlib 1.2.8 also worked, which was nice to see. Performance, well, not so good. It took 4219.9 wall clock seconds on a fairly capable Xeon,
