Inquisitor stresses and benchmarks your hardware

10-20-2008 08:00 AM
Ever wondered why your new computer feels sluggish -- or afraid you'll blow your overclocked processor to smithereens? The Inquisitor testing platform wraps the best of open source benchmarking tools in special scripts to help you test and diagnose your hardware. It's simple to use for desktop users, and if you are a computer reseller or vendor, you can also use it to stress-test thousands of computers simultaneously before shipping them off.

exaccel

exaccel(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual						  exaccel(3alleg4)

NAME

       exaccel - Using offscreen video memory to store source graphics for VBE/AF. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       Example exaccel

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  demonstrates  how  to use an offscreen part of the video memory to store source graphics for a hardware accelerated graphics
       driver. The example loads the `mysha.pcx' file and then blits it several times on the screen. Depending on whether you  have  enough  video
       memory and Allegro supports the hardware acceleration features of your card, your success running this example may be none at all, sluggish
       performance due to software emulation, or flicker free smooth hardware accelerated animation.
