Board » Technical Discussion » General System Spec - to aid SOL development

Page: 1 2 3 4 Next

Post annotated by RainbowChaser :
This thread was moved from the category General Discussion.
To improve the development process for the sailonline client application, it would be good to know a few things about the systems people use to run SOL on.
There are just a few categories of specifications we are inteerested in, so please fill it out and we can hopefully develop the client to better run on the higher end systems, while still being ok on the lower end ones.

****************************************
****************************************
To make life easier for all, I found a small free benchmark program that is available for both PC and Mac. Called NovaBench it will reduce things to a few key numbers, and you can simply cut and paste the system specs from the report page. It is approx 11Mb download and tests take about 1-2 minutes.
Please Post what you see on result page (you can just select all text, including overall result, and copy & paste - HDD info not necessary).
[This also allows better comparison between Win & Mac machines]
****************************************
****************************************

Please also indicate, whether your machine is a desktop or laptop, screen resolution and size, and a rough age in years (or < 1)

Also your Internet download speed:

Use the http://speedtest.net service for 'real-world' results, as often you are not achieving what your ISP claims as their connection speed.


Example NovaBench output:

Mad Max by Balloon 2026 - Across the Outback


Mad Max Rockatansky doesn’t get to go in a balloon in any of the Legends of the Wasteland, and the Wasteland is not necessarily the Outback of Australia, but Mel Gibson and film director George Miller indubitably are… of Australia, and ballooning as reconnaissance is a main feature of the Mad Max spin-off video game, so here goes: 1500nm in a balloon from somewhere on the edge of the Outback, Goondiwindi, to cross a finish line at Fitzroy Crossing, somewhere on the edge of the Outback!

Roma Giraglia Regata 2026

Our eighth race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil – is another buddy-up; this one with the Circolo Nautico Riva di Traiano . Founded in 1984, as the new Traiano yacht Harbour neared completion, the Circola since then has developed into one of the major yachting competition centres in Italy, and next to the 450nm Roma per Tutti (which SOL buddied earlier in the year), the Roma Giraglia Regata is its other headline offshore event. First raced in 2005, the 210nm course takes competitors from Traiano to a rock on the inside of the Ile de la Giraglia off the northern tip of Corsica and back to the Italian mainland for a finish in the bay of Santo Stefano. We’re racing this one in our Class 40!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Masirah to Chagos


Having crossed, re-crossed and re-re-crossed the Convergence Zones of the Pacific and the Atlantic, we now face our second crossing of the Convergence Zone of the World’s third great equator-spanning sea, the Indian Ocean, taking us from the channel between Masirah Island and the Oman mainland to the Chagos Archipelago. It’s 1900nm and we’ll be sailing our very fine Archer 78, and won’t mention that both locations (of departure and arrival) are heavily militarized and the why’s and what next’s concerning that – mindful as always of SOL Netiquette.
