SPEC/GPC’s Application Performance Characterization (SPECapc; Warrenton, VA) project group has released updated performance evaluation software for systems running SolidWorks 2007 mechanical CAD software. The new benchmark, an update of SPECapc for SolidWorks 2005, was developed in cooperation with SolidWorks Corp. (Concord, MA), according to SPEC.
SPECapc for SolidWorks 2007 is said to represent typical user operations that are important in evaluating system performance. The suite of benchmark tests have been updated to reflect new features in SolidWorks 2007 and to ensure results consistency over multiple test runs.
SPEC cautions that because of the test changes, SPECapc for SolidWorks 2007 results should not be compared to those from SPECapc for SolidWorks 2005. The 2005 version will remain available for reporting on the SPEC website for another six months.
SPECapc for SolidWorks 2007 is available as a free download on the SPEC/GPC website. The 2005 version pf the SolidWorks will remain available for reporting on the SPEC website for another six months. The SPECapc group also provides free benchmarks for systems running 3ds Max 8, Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0, Solid Edge V19, UGS NX 3, and Maya 6.5.
