Has anyone heard any news on the National Computer Graphics Associations
(NCGA) Graphics Performance Characterization (GPC) committee? Is Silicon
Graphics Inc. one of the several graphics hardware vendors supporting the
effort?
The GPC is supposedly putting together some standard benchmarking suites
to help make typical vendor performance characteristics like vectors/sec,
polys/sec, and image rotation, more well defined by including size, attributes,
orientation, etc. A GPC 'Picture-Level Benchmark' for measuring the speed at
which a 3-d picture is being displayed (shaded, rotated, transformed, etc.) is
scheduled to be released this August.
Of course nothing will completely replace the "plug in your application
and give it a spin" benchmarking, but this sounds promising.
