Major new versions of SPECviewperf
and SPECworkstation slated for Q2
Major versions of SPECviewperf and SPECwpc (to be renamed SPECworkstation) are on tap for Q2 of this year.
SPECviewperf 13 will feature new volume visualization viewsets for energy and medical applications, radically new shaders, and updated viewsets to match more recent versions of the applications on which they are based.
SPECworkstation 3.0 will include new GPU performance measurement, completely redesigned storage workloads based on real application traces, and
improved results validation and error reporting.
Both benchmarks will benefit from the new standardized GUI being implemented across all SPEC/GWPG products.
Reproducibility: The holy grail
When benchmarking workstation performance, reproducibility is associated with consistency and predictability. But it is a difficult goal to achieve. Find out more in our two-part series.
- Part 1 discusses why reproducibility is important and the major factors for achieving it.
- Part 2 takes a deep dive into the rigorous testing and verification that must be done to ensure reproducibility.
