Benchmark description
SPECapc* for Maya* 2009 contains a major new workload—an animated toy store scene donated by AMD*—as well as upgrades to the workloads found in SPECapc* for Maya* 6.5. Nearly 40 individual tests are run on five workload models to reflect the processes used to model, animate, and render scenes in Autodesk* Maya* 2009. A particular emphasis is placed on testing performance for large texture sizes and multiple viewports. Individual test scores are compiled by the benchmark into composite scores for graphics, CPU, and I/O performance, then factored into an overall composite score. Composite scores are normalized against a reference system for a "bigger-is-better" measurement.
Please see www.spec.org for more information on the workloads.
