Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :TDDD TDDD Test-Driven Database Design (software development) ), the Workstation Graphics Authority, has unveiled that the Wildcat II 5110 professional graphics accelerator, has swept all six of the most recently published SPECviewperf 6.1.2 benchmark tests, the industry's most widely used standard for measuring OpenGL graphics performance. 3Dlabs' Wildcat II 5110 set new performance records in all six of the application datasets, outperforming the competition by wide margins in nearly every test. In fact, the Wildcat II 5110 outperformed its nearest competitor by up to 68 percent in the AWadvs-04 portion of the benchmark, posting an all-time record score of 224.77. In addition, the Wildcat II 5110 outperformed all competition in the APC (1) (American Power Conversion Corporation, West Kingston, RI, www.apcc.com) The leading manufacturer of UPS systems and surge suppressors, founded in 1981 by Rodger Dowdell, Neil Rasmussen and Emanual Landsman, three electronic power engineers who had worked at MIT. application-based CAD benchmarks - racking up more record-breaking scores in Pro/Engineer 2000i, SolidWorks 99 and Unigraphics V15. Such OpenGL performance is critical for design engineers, DCC (1) (Direct Cable Connection) A Windows 95/98 feature that allows PCs to be cabled together for data transfer. DCC actually sets up a network connection between the two machines. professionals, scientists, and visual simulation professionals, allowing them to maximize their creativity and productivity. "Wildcat graphics products are designed to meet the performance, quality and functionality requirements of today's professional applications," stated Jerry Peterson, executive vice president and general manager of 3Dlabs Wildcat Division. "By continually achieving record-breaking scores in independent tests, Wildcat proves it's the clear choice for absolute productivity in the workstation environment." The performance-leading scores were achieved on two Pentium 4 processor-based systems: the Dell Precision Workstation 330 and the IBM IntelliStation M Pro.
