Worldwide standard for professional graphics performance evaluation re-architected for greater API support and extensibility

Decem­ber 18, 2013

GAINESVILLE, Va. — SPEC’s Gra­phics Per­for­mance Cha­rac­te­riza­ti­on group (SPECgpc) has released SPECview­perf 12, an all-new ver­si­on of the world­wi­de stan­dard for mea­su­ring gra­phics per­for­mance based on pro­fes­sio­nal appli­ca­ti­ons. SPECgpc mem­bers include AMD, Dell, Fuji­tsu, HP, Intel, Leno­vo, NEC and NVIDIA.

SPECview­perf 12 mea­su­res the 3D gra­phics per­for­mance of sys­tems run­ning under the OpenGL and Direct X appli­ca­ti­on pro­gramming inter­faces. The benchmark’s test files, cal­led view­sets, repre­sent gra­phics con­tent and beha­vi­or from actu­al appli­ca­ti­ons. New and updated fea­tures in SPECview­perf 12 include:

  • An exten­si­ble archi­tec­tu­re that makes it easier to add API sup­port, view­sets, models and cus­to­mi­zed tests to mea­su­re gra­phics performance.
  • Ener­gy and medi­cal view­sets that high­light volu­me ren­de­ring and dyna­mic data generation.
  • Ful­ly updated view­sets repre­sen­ting popu­lar pro­duct deve­lo­p­ment (PTC Creo, Das­sault Sys­te­mes CATIA, Sie­mens NX, and Das­sault Sys­te­mes Solid­Works) and media and enter­tain­ment (Auto­desk Maya) applications.
  • A view­set repre­sen­ting the Auto­desk Show­ca­se visua­liza­ti­on application.

Grea­ter fle­xi­bi­li­ty, versatility

“We’­ve re-archi­tec­ted SPECview­perf to be far more fle­xi­ble and ver­sa­ti­le for gra­phics per­for­mance eva­lua­ti­on,” says Ian Wil­liams, SPECgpc chair. “It is a valuable com­ple­ment to other SPEC/GWPG bench­marks for users who want to make infor­med con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on and buy­ing decis­i­ons and for ven­dors that need a relia­ble tool to mea­su­re gra­phics per­for­mance for pro­duct deve­lo­p­ment and marketing.”

“SPEC repre­sen­ta­ti­ves are the undis­pu­ted experts in all mat­ters of per­for­mance bench­mar­king for pro­fes­sio­nal-level gra­phics,” says Jon Ped­die, foun­der and CEO of Jon Ped­die Rese­arch. “We expect to use SPECview­perf 12 to accu­ra­te­ly docu­ment the growth and deve­lo­p­ment of gra­phics work­sta­tions in the months ahead.”

SPECview­perf 12 runs under the 64-bit ver­si­on of Micro­soft Win­dows 7. Results from SPECview­perf 12 can­not be com­pared to tho­se from pre­vious ver­si­ons of the benchmark.

Free down­loa­ding for non-com­mer­cial users

SPECview­perf 12 is available for imme­dia­te down­load under a two-tie­red pri­cing struc­tu­re: free for non-com­mer­cial users and $2,500 for com­mer­cial enti­ties. Com­mer­cial enti­ties are defi­ned as orga­niza­ti­ons using the bench­mark for the pur­po­se of mar­ke­ting, deve­lo­ping, test­ing, con­sul­ting for and/or sel­ling com­pu­ters, com­pu­ter ser­vices, gra­phics devices, dri­vers or other sys­tems in the com­pu­ter marketplace.

About SPEC

SPEC is a non-pro­fit orga­niza­ti­on that estab­lishes, main­ta­ins and endor­ses stan­dar­di­zed bench­marks and tools to eva­lua­te per­for­mance for the newest gene­ra­ti­on of com­pu­ting sys­tems. Its mem­ber­ship com­pri­ses near­ly 100 lea­ding com­pu­ter hard­ware and soft­ware ven­dors, edu­ca­tio­nal insti­tu­ti­ons, rese­arch orga­niza­ti­ons, and govern­ment agen­ci­es worldwide.
