SPECwpc V1.0 workstation benchmark

Post by Bullit » 14 Nov 2013, 02:08

SPECwpc V1.0 is the first benchmark to measure all key aspects of workstation performance based on diverse professional applications.

The benchmark was developed by the SPEC workstation performance characterization (SPECwpc) project group, comprising leading vendors such as AMD, Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Lenovo, NEC and NVIDIA.

More than 30 workloads are included in SPECwpc V1.0 to test CPU, graphics, I/O and memory bandwidth. The tests are divided into the application categories listed below. Individual scores are generated for each test and a composite score for each category is generated based on a reference machine, yielding a "bigger is better" result. The reference machine has the following configuration: x3430 processor, 8GB (4x2GB) memory, V4800 graphics and SATA 7.2k rpm hard-disk drive.

(...)
SPECwpc V1.0 is available immediately under a two-tiered pricing structure: free for non-commercial users and $5,000 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.
