SPEC/GPC's OpenGL Performance Characterization (SPECopc; Manassas, VA)project group has posted new software and a patch to correct a scripterror in the Linux/Unix version of SPECviewperf 9 graphics benchmarkingsoftware, originally posted on August 22. The error caused scoringinaccuracies for the Maya-02 and Pro/E-04 test files, called viewsetsin the vernacular.

SPECviewperf measures the 3D graphics performance of OpenGLsystems.  Its current suite of viewsets represent graphicsfunctionality in 3ds max,CATIA, EnSight, Lightscape, Maya,Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, UGS NX 3, and UGS Teamcenter VisualizationMockup.

The project group says that the new 9.0.3 version of SPECviewperfcorrects the scoring problems and is available for download on theSPEC/GPC web site. A patch is available for those who downloaded thefaulty version.

SPECopc says that the scoring inaccuracies did not affect the Windowsversion of SPECviewperf 9, and earlier versions of SPECviewperf werenot affected by the problem. The Windows version of SPECviewperf hasbeen renamed 9.0.3 to keep the two versions synchronized.

SPECviewperf 9 has two new viewsets and a restructured viewset. It alsooffers a number of code changes that bring the testing environment muchcloser to the realities experienced by application users, according toSPECopc. Click here to go to the SPECopc website.
