Computer / Audio Hardware benchmark section?
What do you think of a section where people could post performance benchmarks of their hardware. I know that we already have openbenchmarking.org amongst other linux benchmarking sites like phoronix.com. These sites are helpfull in deciding on which mobo and cpu etc, but it would be really helpful and fun to see the results from jdelay and other tests run across a wide variety of hardware. If this is of interest to enough users we could devise a Linux Audio Benchmark consisting of the already available tools. The results could be devided into new threads for each model of sound card and have users include their specs? Anyhow just thought this would be interesting, what do you think?

Good idea. I hope we have enough people here who participate.

make a confusing array of moving targets. Makes it hard to give straight answers to someone considering adding a linux system.

Thats along the lines I was thinking, we would need an example or template for responses eg.Also, a mention of various kernels performance, as the variety, patches, and jargon around them

Interface: Lexicon Lambda, USB 2.0
Latency: 8ms
OS: Linux Mint 12
Kernel: Linux Lowlatency 3.0.0-12
GPU Driver: Nvidia Binary version x.x.x
CPU: AMD sempron 3600+
Ram: 1GB 800MHz
Hard drive: Sata II 7200rpm
jdelay:
(some other tests):
Comments: This interface has performed inconsistantly in terms of latency and xruns between different kernels, but has a reasonable quality of sound and features for the price.
User rating: 6/10
etc. etc.
The info and comments could go on forever so a sticky thread at the top of the hardware benchmark section could be used as a template so users can just fill in the gaps. It would be easier for users to compare different setups this way.
Anyway thats just one way of doing it
Re: Computer / Audio Hardware benchmark section?
a little bit older thread, but I like this idea. I think it might be nice to see JACK settings too (if applicable). It would be nice if we could compile a table to help new users have a good guess at where to start with JACK settings based on their HW.
