C-Ray is a simple raytracing benchmark written by John Tsiombikas, which has now been discussed extensively on Nekochan; in John's words, C-Ray is:

  "...an extremely small program I did one day to figure out how
  would the simplest raytracer program look like in the least ammount
  of code lines."

The default test scene involves only a small amount of data, such that on most systems the CPU does not have to access main RAM to run the test. Indeed, some systems could run much of the test in L1 cache. I asked John if this meant more complex real-world situations might behave quite differently, eg. scenes that refer to external texture data or large amounts of other geometry and so on. He said yes, and continued:

  "This thing only measures 'floating point CPU performance' and
  nothing more, and it's good that nothing else affects the results.

  A real rendering program/scene would be still CPU-limited meaning that
  by far the major part of the time spent would be CPU time in the fpu,
  but it would have more overhead for disk I/O, shader parsing, more
  strain for the memory bandwidth, and various other things.

  So it's a good approximation being a renderer itself, but it's
  definitely not representative."
Thus, C-Ray is an interesting fp test, but be careful of extrapolating the results to other situations. However, if another task behaves in a similar manner, then the results here could be a useful guide to how various systems compare. So, remember: this is a CPU core test; it doesn't test main RAM speed and it doesn't test I/O.

There are several tables on this page. The main table lists results in milliseconds from all systems for running C-ray with the 'scene' file at default 800x600 resolution with no oversampling.

The second table is aimed at SGI users and contains just the SGI results from the main table. The remaining tables are results for all systems running more complex C-ray tests; see the summary before each table for details. Widen your browser window to see the tables properly.

If you would like to run the tests yourself, then download the archive and consult the included README on how to run the tests. John wrote two versions of the program: c-ray-f for single-CPU/single-core systems, and c-ray-mt for multi-CPU/multi-core systems. If you have a single-CPU or single-core system, then c-ray-f is usually faster, but sometimes running c-ray-mt with 1 thread can be slightly quicker. Send any results to me, not to John.

WARNING: I have no way of verifying most of the submitted results. If you think any of the results look suspicious or fake, please contact me.

NOTES

One obvious point about the multi-CPU SGI results: for the shorter default 'scene' test, the degree of communications overhead is considerable, making the results less than ideal compared to the speed obtained on a system with just one CPU of the same type, eg. coms overhead of the 32-CPU R14K/600 O3400 is 25% compared to the ideal speed based on a single R14K/600 in Octane2 or Fuel. By contrast, for the more complex and longer tests, the scaling is much better with a lot less of a coms overhead, eg. the 32-CPU O3400 is only 2.8% slower than ideal for the high-res 'scene' test. Given the stated simplicity of the default 'scene' test, this does prove John's original comment that a more complex real-world render test would be a better basis for making judgements about one system vs. another, so perhaps the later tables are more useful in that respect. However, I'll leave the table ordering as it is for the moment.

Details of Dr. Dave's overclocked Octane2:

"... it's a 400 overcklocked to 481.25 MHz, on a SysAD of 87.5 Mhz, with cache clocked at 240.625 Mhz (cache divisor of 2, not 1.5). For comparison's sake, a 400 is usually either on a SysAD of 100 or 114.285 MHz, with the cache clocked at 267 Mhz (cache divisor 1.5) - though I've not seen any performance issues with the lower SysAD in the benchmarking I've done. It probably doesn't start being an issue until you've got a fast dual-processor setup. 485-ish is about as fast as you can go on a native 400, and even then it's luck of the draw. Here's the hinv, note the speed is *not* reported correctly:
