SPECviewperf 13 test The
SPECviewperf benchmark is a global standard for measuring graphics performance based on professional applications. Benchmarks measure system 3D graphics performance running under the OpenGL and Direct X application programming interfaces. The SPECviewperf 13 test project includes the following applications and scenarios - 3ds Max and Maya for media and entertainment; CATIA for CAD/CAM, Creo, NX and SolidWorks; visualization and two datasets representing professional energy and medical applications .
SPECviewperf 13 Different test items are created based on the actual workload of the corresponding professional software (scenario). For example, the 3dsmax-06 test content was created from graphics workload trajectories generated by 3ds Max 2016. To best approximate a real use case, some tests combine multiple views sets on the screen, each using a different rendering mode. The rendering styles in the viewset reflect the most commonly used styles in the mainstream market, including realistic, shaded, and wireframe.The
catia-05 viewset was created from a trajectory of a graphics workload generated by Dassault Systemes' CATIA V6 R2012 application. Model sizes range from 5.1 million to 21 million vertices. The viewset includes multiple rendering modes supported by the application, including wireframe, antialiased , shadow , shadow with edges, depth of field, and ambient occlusion. The
creo-02 viewset was created from the trajectories of graphics workloads generated by PTC's Creo 3 and Creo 4 applications. Model sizes vary from 20 million to 48 million vertices. The
energy-02 viewset is based on the rendering technology used by the open source OpendTect seismic visualization application. Similar to medical imaging such as MRI or CT, geophysical surveys generate image slices through the subsurface that are built into a 3D grid. Volume rendering provides a 2D projection of this 3D volume mesh for further analysis and interpretation. The focus of this test is on physical rendering applications in the seismic, oil and gas exploration fields, and therefore requires extremely high capacity on workstation system memory and graphics card memory. The
maya-05 viewset was created from the trajectory of the graphics workload generated by the Autodesk Maya 2017 application. Viewsets include multiple rendering modes supported by the application, such as shadow mode, ambient occlusion, multi-sample antialiasing, and transparency. The
medical-02 viewset uses the Tuvok rendering core of the ImageVis3D volume visualization program. It renders a 2D projection of a 3D volume mesh. A typical 3D mesh in this viewset is a set of 3D slices acquired by an scanner (eg CT or MRI). This test shows two rendering modes for slice-based rendering and for raycast rendering, which has high requirements for GPU performance.The
showcase-02 viewset was created from the Autodesk Showcase 2013 application. The model used in the viewset contains 8 million vertices. Viewsets have DirectX rendering capabilities. Rendering modes included in the viewset include shadow, cast shadow, and self shadow. The
snx-03 viewset was created from the trajectory of the graphics workload generated by Siemens PLM's NX 8.0 application. Model sizes ranged from 7.15 million to 8.45 million vertices. Viewsets include multiple rendering modes supported by the application, including wireframe, antialiasing, shadows, shadows with edges, and studio mode. The
sw-04 viewset was created from the SolidWorks 2013 SP1 application by Dassault Systemes. Models used in viewsets range in size from 2.1 million to 21 million vertices. The viewset includes multiple rendering modes supported by the application, including shadow mode, shadows with edge shadows, ambient occlusion, shadows, and environment maps. The test results of
ThinkStation P620 under different resolutions are shown in the figure (3dsmax and showcase two tests do not support 4K resolution).
Even at 4K resolution, in energy-02 and medical-02 tests that test the performance of computer CPU and GPU, the frame number of ThinkStation P620 remains above 60. Therefore, can more smoothly complete 3D interactions such as rotation and zooming when users perform modeling, analysis, etc., to avoid stuttering or unsmooth loading and reduce work efficiency .
In order to more intuitively show the powerful productivity of ThinkStation P620, this test is compared with other high-performance PCs, and the results are as follows (the test resolution is 1080P).
The test results show that the ThinkStation P620 with AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 3995WX and NVIDIA RTX A6000 has obvious performance advantages in different tests. Especially with the advantages of multi-threading and strong performance brought by industry-grade graphics cards, in professional software processing, the performance improvement compared to conventional high-performance PCs can reach dozens of times (for example, in the NX test, the frame number of ThinkStation P620 reached a high 42 times the performance of a PC), not only can improve work efficiency, but also provide a smoother interactive experience in the design and creation process. Especially in application scenarios such as energy mapping and medical image analysis, ThinkStation P620 can improve the efficiency by more than ten times compared with general high-performance PC or mainstream workstation products. More accurate and reliable medical and other professional application scenarios for creating experience can complete data analysis tasks in a more timely and reliable manner, and become a trustworthy "efficient assistant" for scientific research and medical personnel.
Therefore, ThinkStation P620 can help professionals to have efficient solutions in light-weight threads and multi-threaded complexities, and with powerful computing power to reduce rendering time and control time costs, so as to make more attempts, innovations, and higher Quality work done.
