Results Matlab 5.x
The following bar chart illustrates the relative performance of each of the machines submitted to the benchmarking process. For each machine the average time to complete each of components of the bench routine is plotted as the first 5 bars (smaller is faster). Overall performace is inversely proportional to the total time taken to complete the tests, and is plotted as the 6th bar (pink). The actual height of the "overall" performance bars have been scaled to that of the fastest machine, which for the sake of clarity has been set to a value of 10. The details for each machine labelled A to V are shown below the chart:
Figure 1: Matlab 5.x benchmark scores. The type and number of processors (UltraSPARC, Intel Pentium (P2/P3/P4)) in the tested machine is shown along the bottom axis. Additional details about each machine may be found in the table below:

Key to Table 1: 2.6 = Solaris 2.6, 7 = Solaris 7, 8 = Solaris 8, I = Irix, L=Linux (R = RedHat, S = SuSE), W=Windows 95/98/ME, NT = Windows NT, NT5= Windows 2000/XP. All amounts of physical RAM and swap space (virtual memory) are given in megabytes (Mb), where known the type of PC ram is given: SD = SDRAM, RD = RDRAM. Graphics cards: 3D = Creator 3D, G200/G400 = Matrox cards, DF = Diamond Fire, E&S = Evans & Sutherland, EL = Elsa, GeF = NVidia GeForce, TNT2 UL = NVidia TNT2 Ultra. Type of disk interface is given e.g. IDE, SCSI, or IDE/SCSI mix, where known the interface type is given: 66 = UDMA66, 160 = SCSI Ultra160. *Matlab version ("SV" = student version). The final column, "score", is the un-normalised result from the following sum: (1 / (Sum of average times for each of the 5 tests))*100.
