The colors are from the rainbow color map-- blue is 6.65 fps and red is 17.0 fps. The plot is 32x32 squares, tile size 1x1 is in the bottom left and tile size 32x2 is second from the bottom along the right side. Each sample is fps benchmark score of running -bench 20 10 with 12 processors on the default image.

Hi,
I'm not sure if anyone has done a tile size test with manta before. I just did
one for the default scene, tile sizes 1x1 through 32x32. The minimum fps was
6.65 and the max was 17.0. Bottom left corner is 1x1 and bottom right corner
is 32x1. The maximum working tile dimension appears to be 32 in the itanium2
branch..

I wrote a perl script, which I will put in StandAlone/. The script produces a
text file which can be transformed into a plot using unu.

bin/manta  -np 12 -ui null -imagedisplay null  -bench 20 10  -imagetraverser
"tiled( -tilesize NxN )"

The default size is 32x2. I think some additional tests will be useful.
