Hi everyone,

Yevrowl's post about the ARTC HD63484 graphics processor made me aware of an article covering the "nozzle benchmark".

https://www.computer.org/publications/tech-ne … hi-artc-hd63484

It was a benchmark involving drawing the complex nozzle schematic diagram (using AutoCAD, I assume).

Now I wonder, did anyone hear about this benchmark before?
I knew about the popular shuttle/Columbia drawing (DWG/DXF), but "nozzle" is new to me.
As a benchmark, I mean. I've indeed seen a nozzle sample in the past a few times, but didn't know it was special.

Anyway, do you think it's worth to re-vive the nozzle benchmark in future benchmark projects?
Not as a serious comparison, but as a form of tradition thing or as paying tribute etc?

Any ideas welcome. 😃

Best wishes,
Jo22

I think remember having seen either a DWG or DXF of that load up really slowly in Autocad release 10 about 30 years ago .

EDIT : It's older than that (as your link also mentions) https://autodesk.blogs.com/between_the_lines/ … k-thursday.html

EDIT2 : It can be opened in Libre CAD, once converted to AutoCAD 2000 DWG format using Autodesk TrueView 2024 .

Hashes for the original (AFAIK) file . I am not sharing it because I do not know the copyright/distribution rights status .

EDIT3: To answer your question, I like the idea, but the copyright/distribution status of the file would need to be clarified.

Thank you very much, darry! 😁

I'll try to have a look at the original drawing soon; maybe it loads up in an older copy of AutoCAD on DOS..
