PyBERT Performance by Platform

Here we tabulate the PyBERT performance (Msmpls./min.) observed by different users on different platforms.

Note: The following data are for:

• "Standard" Python installation for platform (i.e. - downloaded from python.org)
• PyBERT v4.0.0
• PyIBIS-AMI v4.0.2

installed via: pip install pipbert. (Note the new Pip package name!)

Platform	David Banas	David Patterson	Stephen Newberry	?
MacOS ARM (M1/M2)	(2022 Air M2 16/512GB) 7.5
MacOS Intel	(2012 Air 4/256GB) 1.7	(2015 MacBook 2.7Ghz/i5/8GB) 2.9
Linux			(64-core Threadripper PRO 1TB/?) 3.6
Windows 11	(Dell XPS 15 7590 32/1024GB) 0.6
Windows 10		(i7-6700k/16GB) 1.1
Windows X

Please, send us your numbers and we'll add them to the list. :)

General Notes

1. I'm unable to test under Linux, as the newest version of Python available under WSL2 Ubuntu is 3.6, but we require >=3.8 for both PyBERT and PyIBIS-AMI.

2. Windows performance can probably be improved dramatically, by using the intel-numpy package. However, we've got some versioning tangles that need to be unwrapped. :( See this comment on PR115.

3. Performance number is computed by running

   from pybert.pybert import PyBERT
   
   thePyBERT = PyBERT(gui=False)
   print(f"Performance: {60*thePyBERT.total_perf/1e6:4.1f} Msmpls./min.")
