AOGen CPU Benchmark 1.1.2

AOGen CPU Benchmark is a tiny command line tool that allows you to bench your brand new CPU.

AOGen CPU Benchmark is based on the AOGen tool (see AOGen - Génération des maps docclusion). The main problem of the AOGen tool is that it is too slow for the occlusion maps calcultation. Thanks to this fact, it is perfectly adapted to benchmark a processor.
AOGen CPU Benchmark is a modified version of the AOGen tool, and does not take anymore a 3D model file as input. AOGen CPU Burner generates its own 3D model (currently a 20k-polygons torus) and performs the calculation on it.

The benchmarks principle is quite simple: the smaller the elapsed time to finish the bench, the faster your CPU is! The elapsed time is provided in milliseconds so you can measure with accuracy the impact of your overcloking parameters on the CPU/memory.

But the AOGen CPU Benchmarks strength is to be a multithreading CPU benchmark. So you can use CPU Burner to bench a mono, dual or even quad core CPU. Generally speaking, you can set the number of threads you want (2, 4, 8, 10, 24, ...).

AOGen CPU Benchmark has several parameters in command line and the two most important are: the number of threads and the number of samples per face. The benchmark score uses one, two or four threads and eight samples. Now if you wish use AOGen CPU Benchmark to check the stability of your system, you can set the number of samples to a higher value like 32, 64, 128, 512, 1024 and so forth. With 1024 samples, the bench will last many hours or days... See the readme.txt file in the zip archive for more information about parameters.
