SPECviewperf™ is a portable OpenGL performance
benchmark program written in C. It was developed by IBM. Later updates and
significant contributions were made by SGI, Digital and other
SPECopcSM project group members. SPECviewperf provides a vast amount
of flexibility in benchmarking OpenGL performance. Currently, the program runs
on most implementations of UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and Linux. Higher
numbers equate to better performance.
SPECvieperf is a mixed bag. On some test the
Pentium 4 wins, on others AMD. This will be the last time we
use SPECviewperf for CPU reviews, apparently it's too heavily dependant on
videocards.
