TEST DETAILS
SPECVIEWPERF® 12

Catia-04
•

•
•

Created from traces of the
graphics workload generated by
the CATIA V6 R2012 application
from Dassault Systemes
Model sizes range from 5.1 to 21
million vertices
Viewset includes numerous
rendering modes supported by
the application including
wireframe, anti-aliasing, shaded,
shaded with edges, depth of
field, ambient occlusion

6 | AMD FIREPRO™ GRAPHICS | DECEMBER 2013

Creo-01
•
•

•

Created from traces of the
graphics workload generated by
the Creo 2™ application from PTC
Model sizes range from 20 to 48
million vertices
Viewset includes numerous
rendering modes supported by
the application including
wireframe, anti-aliasing, shaded,
shaded with edges, and shaded
reflection modes

Energy-01
•
•

•

Representative of a typical
volume rendering application in
the seismic and Oil & Gas field
Geophysical surveys generate
image slices through the
subsurface that are built into a
3d grid. Volume rendering gives
as 2D projection or view of this
3D regular volumetric grid for
further analysis and
interpretation
Makes use of hardware support
for 3D textures and therefore
trilinear interpolation.

Maya-04
•

•
•

Created from traces of the
graphics workload generated by
the Maya 2013 application from
Autodesk
Model size is 727.5 thousand
vertices
Viewset includes numerous
rendering modes supported by
the application including shaded
mode, ambient occlusion, multisample antialiasing, and
transparency

TEST DETAILS
SPECVIEWPERF® 12

Medical-01
•

•
•

Representative of a typical
volume rendering application
that renders a 2D projection of a
3D regular volumetric grid.
A typical 3D grid in this viewset is
a group of 3D slices acquired by a
scanner (such as CT or MRI).
2 datasets in this viewset – “4D
heart data set (multiple 3d
volumes iterated over time) and
“Stag Beetle” (workload with
larger memory requirement)

7 | AMD FIREPRO™ GRAPHICS | DECEMBER 2013

Showcase-01
•
•
•

Created from traces of Autodesk’s
Showcase 2013 application
The model used in the viewset
consists of 8 million vertices
Viewset is the first viewset in
SPECviewperf to feature DX
rendering. Rendering modes
included in the viewset include
shading, projected shadows, and
self-shadows

SNX-02
•

•
•

Created from traces of the
graphics workload generated by
the NX 8.0 application from
Siemens PLM
Model sizes range from 7.15 to
8.45 million vertices
Viewset includes numerous
rendering modes supported by
the application including
wireframe, anti-aliasing, shaded,
shaded with edges, and studio
mode

SW-03
•
•
•

Created from traces of Dassault
Systemes’ SolidWorks 2013 SP1
Models used in the viewset
consist of 2.1M vertices to 21M
vertices
Viewset includes numerous
rendering modes supported by
the application including shaded
mode, shaded with edges,
ambient occlusion, shaders, and
environment maps

SPECVIEWPERF® 11 VS. SPECVIEWPERF® 12
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES?

SPECviewperf® 11

SPECviewperf® 12

Created by a single member of the SPEC committee
with little ability for other committee members to
contribute or review the benchmark dataset source
or raw trace data.

Consists of viewsets submitted from several
committee members, each submitting full
source code for the tests that can be easily
reviewed by all committee members.

Results do not correlate well with expected raw
graphics card performance or benchmarks testing
the actual applications traced by SPECviewperf.

Re-architected to decouple the actual tests and
data from the test framework.

Released in 2010, with software vendors
commonly releasing update versions on an annual
basis, SPECviewperf 11 traces are three or more
versions behind the currently shipping versions of
those applications

8 | AMD FIREPRO™ GRAPHICS | DECEMBER 2013

SPECviewperf 12 traces are taken from the latest
versions of the applications.

FOCUSING WHERE IT MATTERS MOST
ON KEY PRODUCTS FOR CAD AND M&E WORKFLOWS

 Vast majority of CAD and CAE users purchase entry and mid-range Professional graphics boards
 For M&E users purchase mainly mid-range Professional graphics boards
 SPECviewperf® 12 has focused on the key professional application for these
markets
 SPECviewperf® 12 clearly shows the user benefits of AMD FirePro’s
strategy of optimizing our products for real-world
professional workflows ensuring you get optimal
performance professional graphics card

 Highest productivity for your application
workflow and not just great scores from
a synthetic benchmark
