How to use this program
-----------------------

- RapydMark.exe is the executable for 32 bits systems and RapydMark_x64.exe for 64 bits systems.

- The 'Performance' column shows iterations per second, test performance. Also shows the threads used for the test (4th = four threads).

- 'Memory cache performance' test only works with 4 threads maximum, because too many threads would use too much memory.
In this test what is relevant is not the result shown in 'Performance', the true results are the processing times of each memory block.

- GFLOPS results are not comparable with the GFLOPS of the CPU specifications. Only comparable with the results of this test.

- The clock speed (GHZ) of the CPU description might not show the Turbo Boost speed.

- In all tests, except for 'Memory cache performance', the iterations are divided among the execution threads.

- Before run tests close all applications on your system for reliable results.



Stress Levels
-------------

- Low stress level is the best for single-thread performance tests (all computers) or for multi-threads tests for low-performance computers.

- Medium stress level is the best for medium/high performance computers.

- High stress level it's only recommended for very high performance computers.

RapydMark3DTest
---------------

RapydMark3DTest.exe and RapydMark3DTest_x64.exe are used by RapydMark to run the 3D performance test, but you can use it independently (it's interactive).
