SPECapc* for LightWave* 9.6 (Multitask score)
Benchmark description
SPECapc for LightWave 3D* v9.6 is performance evaluation software for systems running NewTek LightWave 3D v9.6 software. LightWave* is a complete modeling, rendering, and animation solution used worldwide for visual effects in television, film, broadcast graphics, games, visualization, print, and web.
The benchmark, developed in cooperation with NewTek, provides realistic workloads that simulate a typical LightWave 3D workflow. It contains 11 datasets–ranging from 64,000 to 1.75 million polygons–and representing such applications as 3D character animation, architectural review, and industrial design. Scores for individual workloads are composited under three categories: interactive, render, and multitask.
The benchmark puts special emphasis on processes that benefit from multi-threaded computing, such as animation, OpenGL playback, deformations, and high-end rendering that includes ray tracing, radiosity, complex textures, and volumetric lighting.
Please see www.spec.org for more information on the workloads.
