A call for modern CPU benchmarks

OK, Hijack over:

I found the problem, unrelated issue.

LVCompare.exe (LV 2015 version at least) has the Temp folder hardwired somewhere, it doesn't work if you change the default Temp folder within the LV environment. Or if it can be changed, I don't know where.

I had changed this when cleaning up my data and forgot this bug.

Whew, you had me worried there for a second. 😄

(I assume you installed the standard 2020 runtime engine from NI, and not the special "lite" runtime engine I made for users that don't use any NI software beyond my programs)

Now that we have CPUs that do TFLOPS, I was reminded of an old ad in Byte magazine where you could buy an add-on card for your PC to get up to 125 kflops for only $1199. 😄

(Back in these days, I actually had the spectrum simulation code running on a VAX 11/780(?))

Back in those days I had a speak and spell...just kidding I was 5 months old.

Back in those days I was king of my peer-group because I could program a golf game on my Tandy Pocket Computer.

How does one go about creating their own runtime engine?

I usually just need VISA support for the programs i write and people don't wanna use them due to the bloat of a whole runtime engine 😄
