Surely this is the only way to benchmark your difference engine – how well does it run when showing beautiful images of an airship?  Now, while I may scoff at the lack of air turbulence when there’s a rather large sea monster so very close, (and I was a little disapointed it wasn’t an Air Kraken) it is a very nice little piece of Steampunk video purely for pretty sake.

If you would like to see how well your own non-fruit-based difference engine would run such a scene, you can find the benchmark test here.  If however you’d much rather just see a far higher resolution sequence of the above, then there appears to be a download for it over here.  Mr Eric, I am in your debt for finding this – and I hope that the gremlins in your machine have been soundly evicted since.  (Or at the very least had their contracts re-examined).
