Thursday, August 24, 2006:
Linux/Unix version of SPECviewperf 9 graphics performance evaluation software has been made available for free download. SPECviewperf 9 represents a major upgrade to the popular benchmarking software, featuring two new viewsets, a totally restructured viewset, and code changes that bring the testing environment much closer to the realities experienced by application users.
|
|
A significant change in SPECviewperf 9 is the use of glDrawElements instead of glArrayElement within the restructured Maya viewset. With the change, SPECviewperf 9 follows the same OpenGL command stream as Maya 6.5, handling graphics data in the same way as the actual application.
"This new version represents tremendous strides in accommodating complex data sets and making SPECviewperf results more closely represent real-world performance," says Ian Williams, SPECopc chair. "This is still a synthetic benchmark, but one with a distinctive ability to accurately capture and codify the performance of graphics operations within popular applications."
New viewsets in SPECviewperf 9 are based on traces of UGS Teamcenter Visualization Mockup, a conceptual design application, and UGS NX 3, a leading CAD/CAM application. Both new viewsets use very large and complex models – up to 11 million vertices in the Teamcenter Visualization Mockup viewset, and 30 million vertices in the NX 3 viewset.
Developed by SPEC/GPC's OpenGL Performance Characterization (SPECopc) project group, SPECviewperf has become a worldwide standard for users assessing graphics performance for new purchases and upgrades, graphics card vendors testing products under development, OEMs evaluating graphics components, and consultants and publication editors reviewing new graphics systems.
