SPECapc Releases New UGS NX benchmark.WARRENTON, Va. -- SPEC/GPC's Application Performance Characterization (SPECapc) project group has released new performance evaluation Performance evaluation The assessment of a manager's results, which involves, first, determining whether the money manager added value by outperforming the established benchmark (performance measurement) and, second, determining how the money manager achieved the calculated return software for systems running UGS' NX(TM) digital product development software. SPECapc for UGS NX UGS NX is the commercial CAD/CAM/CAE PLM software suite developed by Siemens UGS PLM Software. It is commonly referred to as a 3D PLM software application. All stages of product development are supported, from conceptualization (CAID), to design (CAD), to analysis (CAE), to 3 uses data-intensive models that were donated to SPEC/GPC by the automotive industry. Completely new test sets are designed to exercise functionality and features used in day-to-day NX work. The benchmark generates results for graphics, CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. and disk I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output operations, as well as a composite number for total system performance. Operations tested include loading parts, rotations, zooms, pans, front and back clipping, modifying perspective parameters, full view generation, and different edge modes. The new benchmark resulted from a collaborative effort among the automotive industry, UGS UGS In currencies, this is the abbreviation for the Uganda Shilling. Notes: The currency market, also known as the Foreign Exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world, with a daily average volume of over US $1 trillion. , and SPECapc. "The process of developing this benchmark ensures that it is a realistic testing tool for users, the ISV (Independent Software Vendor) A person or company that develops software. It implies an organization that specializes in software only and is not part of a computer systems or hardware manufacturer. and hardware vendors," says Dan Bennett, SPECapc chair. "The automotive industry generously donated an actual design model, UGS contributed the testing framework based on characteristic use of NX 3, and we integrated it with the proven SPEC methodology that helps ensure consistent results." "We were pleased to work with SPECapc to develop this benchmark for NX," says Chris Brosz, vice president of technical operations, UGS. "It gives our customers an unbiased, reliable and repeatable tool to evaluate performance." SPECapc for UGS NX 3 is available for free downloading on the SPEC/GPC web site: www.spec.org/gpc. The SPECapc group also provides free benchmarks for systems running Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0, UGS' Solid Edge V14, SolidWorks 2005, 3ds max 7 and Maya 6.5. About SPECapc SPECapc was formed in 1997 to address graphics performance evaluation based on actual software applications. It is a project group of the Graphics Performance Characterization (GPC (1) A PC that uses the Linux-based gOS operating system. See gOS. (2) (GPC Group) Originally the Graphics Performance Characterization committee of the NCGA, the GPC Group is now part of Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) and oversees the following ) Group, which is part of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC). SPEC is a non-profit corporation formed to establish, maintain and endorse a standardized set of relevant benchmarks that can be applied to the newest generation of computers.
