Hardware Optimisation & Benchmarking Shenanigans

The idea is that the data you upload, will be displayed to you (and then others), and you can choose to compare that dataset either against a previous run that you did, or other variables.

I expect different people will wish to analyse the data in different ways.

For me personally - and maybe selfishly, I wanted to compare initially against my own results, so I can make adjustments to my system and see how they affect each stage. - These will be presented to everyone, for better or worse.

Seeing how things compare on other systems will be great too.

Data analysis can be a complex matter in itself, yes we are talking another PHD :D.   Presenting it in a manner that is ideal for everyone won’t likely be possible, however we can work at some pretty graphs etc.    The idea isn’t to make it a race to show who is at the top/who has the fastest system- ultimately that data will be very valuable to see the system spec of how/why that was achieved.   

However it may not be the case that 1 system is the fastest at all stages, so I’ll let the user choose if they want the data ordered by date/user/fastest alignment/fastest depth map/fastest model creation/fastest texturing/gfx card/cpu/ etc… to which they can make the comparison.  -   I suppose a few default calculations could be done to say “Your computer sucks, it is 22448% slower than the fastest shown here.” etc :D  … Then you can try and see why.  It will probably make me  full of buyer’s remorse. :slight_smile:
