Does anyone know what the Radius SANE init does besides (apparantly) dramatically increasing the speed of the 68881 in my Mac II? A friend of mine recommended it and gave me a copy saying that it more than triples the math computations. A Software patch of some sort. I also borrowed his shareware program, Speedometer 1.1 to gauge the speed increase and these were the results: Test: Results w/out Results with -------------------------------------------------------------------- KWhetstones/sec 52.174 167.131 Dhrystone/sec 2564.103 2568.493 Sieve 1.383 1.383 Savage Cum Error 3.0444e-0111 2.29e-0111 Savage Time 48.45 4.583 Savage Iterations 5000 5000 CPU Speed (1=SE?) 3.38 3.37 Math Speed 6.68 25.56 Disk Speed 3.31 3.31 Overall 4.02 7.80 --------------------------------------------------------------------- System is a Mac II, 6.0.2/6.1, No Multifinder, 140 Meg Rodime, more inits than I can count, 5 Megs RAM. If these results are true and hold for all math intensive applications, this really is a blessing. Does anybody know anything about this? The copyright date on this init is 1987, and is version 1.2. -- ******************************************************************************* * Greg Ford GEnie: G.FORD3 * * University of Southern California Internet: gford%nunki.usc.edu@usc.edu * *******************************************************************************
