SPEC Delivers New SPECapc for Solidworks 2024 Benchmark
May 14 2024 - 4:00AM
The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), the trusted
global leader in computing benchmarks, today announced the
availability of the SPECapc for Solidworks 2024 benchmark, an
update to SPEC’s performance evaluation software for vendors and
users of computing systems running Dassault Systèmes Solidworks
2024 CAD/CAM software.
“As Dassault Systèmes improves Solidworks every year, SPEC is
committed to keeping the SPECapc for Solidworks benchmark aligned
with the latest features and capabilities,” said SPECapc Chair
Jessica Heerboth. “With the new version of the benchmark, we have
added measurement for hidden line removal (HLR), which has a
dramatically improved algorithm. All users of Solidworks 2024 will
benefit from this up-to-date measurement.”
The SPECapc for Solidworks 2024 benchmark consists of 48
graphics tests and 12 CPU tests, exercising a full range of
graphics and CPU functionality. The graphics-oriented tests use
four Solidworks view settings — RealView, Ambient Occlusion
and shadows — in combination with shaded and shaded-with-edges
display styles, and hidden line removal. Drawing mode is also
measured. Twelve CPU tests within the benchmark perform rebuild,
simulation, conversion and visualize CPU rendering. The benchmark
features nine models, with the largest containing 4.75 million
triangles.
The 10 models included in the SPECapc for Solidworks 2024
benchmark are:
- Audi R8 (car) — 715 MB in memory, exercising graphics and
Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Black owl (desktop computer) — 1.15 GB in memory, exercising
graphics and Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Digger (backhoe) — 464 MB in memory, exercising graphics and
Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Ferrari (car) — 533 MB in memory, exercising graphics and
Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Jet engine — 665 MB in memory, exercising graphics and
Visualize CPU ray tracing
- Menjac (motor assembly) — 514 MB in memory, exercising
graphics
- Motor — 392 MB in memory, exercising graphics
- SpaceShipCrawler (NASA Crawler Transporter Model) — 2.3 GB in
memory, exercising graphics
- Super car (gullwing door) — 822 MB in memory, exercising
graphics
- Tesla tower — 495 MB in memory, exercising graphics
