SPEC/GPC's OpenGL Performance Characterization (SPECopc) project group today released SPECviewperf 7.0, a major new version of its application-based performance evaluation software. The new benchmark is available for free downloading on this web site. Initial SPECviewperf 7.0 test results from SPECopc members will be available on the site May 15. SPECviewperf 7.0 includes new features for more accurately capturing graphics functionality from real applications. It provides new and updated viewsets representing popular CAD/CAM/CAE and digital content creation (DCC) applications. SPECviewperf 7.0 enables general state changes to be made during frames, bringing the benchmark much closer to how applications behave in the real world. Data traversal, facet color processing, and display of lighting and textures can now be changed from frame to frame. Full press release Download from here | 288MB
