knowledgegranted Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Hello, My first thread here, and no, I'm not just here to advertise. I'm Jim Atchue, owner of Husky Engineering. The past few months we have been developing a benchmarking system that also doubles as a stress tester. The program itself has come a long way, especially with input of overclockers and advanced computer users like yourselves. I am here to show you what we have and to ask for input. Basically I'll just give you a heads up on what we have now. The program, A.K.A Repod, was developed towards the more advanced user crowd. It gives real-time scores, and over time it records Frame Rates, Memory Usage, power usage, calculations per second, temperature, and a few more surprises we expect to throw in there. It records those from the Graphics card, Processor, and Memory. We will be adding in support for hard drives and sound cards soon enough. I am asking you what you would like to see in a benchmarking program. I understand, for the most part, that you guys would like things such as an output with framerates and usage of memory and power rather than just a simple score. So just, let me know here in this thread what would be great in a benchmarking program. I will post our dev videos and some screenshots of the program tomorrow when I'm on my development machine. Thanks for Reading! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Jim Atchue PS. I hope to make some of your machines cry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJR Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 You seem to be hitting up quite a few forums with this news. Just wondering if this is also you: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledgegranted Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Yes, that is me. I'm trying to get as much as a viewerbase I can while also becoming a user in the community. Nice research btw! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I wanna see an online validation tool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledgegranted Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I'm not quite sure if I understand what you mean...like one where people can post legit scores? Ones that would be validated through a database? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savan Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) yes, I believe thats what he means I would like to see support for dx11 cards, as well as graphs of individual component performance once the benchmark run has completed Edited December 27, 2009 by Savan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledgegranted Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) We actually run Open GL3.2 so people can benchmark on both Mac and Linux distro's as well as Windows. The individual output we actually have already, someone e-mailed me asking for that specific feature so we put it in right away.

The Smith Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) I'm not quite sure if I understand what you mean...like one where people can post legit scores? Ones that would be validated through a database? Yes, like 3DMark. Edit: Oh BTW I can't find anything about Husky engineering. Does it have a web page?

knowledgegranted Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 The webpage is underdevelopment, the link is http://huskyengineering.com/ . We have been focusing on our development of the program lately, the website will be up soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJR Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Well, you seem to really be into the technology field, may have something to do with your father, Steve, which is a very good thing. You do seem to jump around a bit and I can't find any finished projects (game development, various web sites) of yours, hopefully this one will work out. I'm sure you did some research on your cooling project, but I came across this, you may find interesting if you haven't seen it yet. Good luck with the new endeavor, looking forward to seeing some vids and screenshots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
knowledgegranted Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Thanks for the encouragement. Actually alot of my projects are finished, I just become overwhelmed with posting them all; but now that you mention it I might start getting back to blog posting and getting my updates there. I've been on a few game development teams, I've hosted a few which were pretty successful, but we ended up selling the project before any of them could be finished. I mostly consult for game-dev teams now. I consult for Vex Studios, I'm basically putting together a Publisher's Portfolio for them and I pitch it to Publishers around the globe. Oh, and yes my father does influence alot of things I do. Here are some basic pictures of the program so far, we haven't really done anything to the UI or tests itself to look good we just wanted to get the functionality there.

Puck Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Online validation would be a necessity to weed out fake scores, and proper multi thread scaling with additional CPU cores and GPUs will need to be considered to be successful and popular in todays enthusiast market. If you need a hand I can test both dual and quad GPU setups at clockspeeds up to around 4.5ghz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
