Digital content creation megatasking performance
Benchmark description
Autodesk Maya* 2009 Mental Ray* render and SPECapc* for 3DS Max* 9.0—Graphics & hardware shader
Autodesk Maya* 2009 Mental Ray* render runs at background on number_of_processor minus one processors. It renders an ASCII scene without graphic in background while SPECapc* for 3DS Max* 9.0–Graphics & hardware shader runs on one logical processor in the foreground. Time (seconds) elapse is reported when workloads are finished. Elapsed time is then converted to Jobs/day as final score.
