The following table contains some new benchmark results obtained since we published the last benchmark results in EMME/2 NEWS No. 15:
Computer Model | Processor | Speed | Benchm. | Auto Assignm. | Transit | |
CPU/FPU | MHz | Date | 1 it. | total | Assignm. | |
HP 9000-730 | PA-RISC | 66 | 09/ 93 | 1.4 | 15.8 | 6.46 |
DEC 3000/400 - OSF/1 | ALPHA | 133 | 04/95 | 1.7 | 18.5 | 7.51 |
Compaq Deskpro XL 590 | Pentium | 90 | 03/95 | 1.7 | 18.7 | 7.74 |
SUN SPARCserv. 1000E | SuperSPARC | 60 | 04/95 | 1.8 | 21.1 | 6.93 |
Compaq Deskpro XL 566 | Pentium | 66 | 06/94 | 2.2 | 24.7 | 9.30 |
SUN SPARCstation 5 | SPARC-II | 70 | 04/95 | 3.5 | 37.2 | 11.61 |
DEC 3000/400 - VMS | ALPHA | 133 | 10/93 | 3.8 | 42.9 | 16.12 |
Note that the benchmark results in the above table were obtained with Release 7. The CPU times for the transit assignment can therefore not be compared directly with earlier benchmark results. In Release 7 the CPU time for the transit assignment of the Winnipeg demonstration data bank has increased by about 25%, since the optimal strategies are now computed for all destinations, not just those with non-zero demand.
