I have a few G4 chips I'm trying to find the limits of, so I'm trying to come up with a good stress test, either in OS 9 or X, to confirm that they're stable. Does anyone have a go-to method for this? Maybe a long code compile, encoding a large video, or looping a benchmark utility? | Posted by: treellama on 2025-10-17 10:13:57
I like to use AltiVec Fractal Carbon on G4s: https://daugerresearch.com/fractals/altivecfractalcarbon.shtml | Posted by: obsolete on 2025-10-17 10:21:59
Oh wow, that's a blast from the past! I remember using that years ago but had forgotten all about it. Thanks for the suggestion.
I was also looking at BOINC, and while the client is still available, unfortunately none of the active projects will provide work units for 32-bit PowerPC 😛 | | 1 |
