The reason the -imagedisplay null flag wasn't working was that the ia64
AtomicCounter implementation in SCIRun/Core/Threads/Thread_pthreads.cc
was broken. Seems like a bunch of stuff wouldn't have worked...
I checked in a fix and the "-imagedisplay null" thing now works. Wonder if
anything else is now broken, though...

I actually get 4.5 frames per second on the G5, and 8.3 fps for two
processors. The altix gets only .77 fps for 1p.
I did:
bin/manta -np 1 -imagedisplay null -bench
The default bench is equivalent to -bench 100 10. Also, for some
reason the altix won't parse the -imagedisplay null flag correctly...

This is running "bin/manta -bench 10 10"? By "3.5" do you mean 3.5
seconds
for 10 frames on the g5?
We'll think about some compiler flags...

Hi-
What compilers and compiler option flags have you tried? I have
used the
intel compiler, with pretty much just -O3. I think we are looking
for
some good ones to hard code into the default cmake build on the
different platforms.

Steve reports 3.5 on one processor of his g5.
2 Processors -- Benchmark completed in 6.59063 seconds (10 frames,
1.51731 frames per second)
4 Processors -- Benchmark completed in 3.38019 seconds (10 frames,

8 Processors -- Benchmark completed in 1.70183 seconds (10 frames,

16 Processors -- Benchmark completed in 0.892033 seconds (10 frames,
11.2103 frames per second)
