This test runs SPECViewPerf 2020 if available on your system. SPECViewPerf is made up of real-world OpenGL workstation tests such as CATIA and SolidWorks. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This test runs ParaView benchmarks: an open-source data analytics and visualization application. Paraview describes itself as "an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application. ParaView users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques." Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
This is a test of Indigo Renderer's IndigoBench benchmark. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
LuxMark is a multi-platform OpenGL benchmark using LuxRender. LuxMark supports targeting different OpenCL devices and has multiple scenes available for rendering. LuxMark is a fully open-source OpenCL program with real-world rendering examples. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
OctaneBench is a test of the OctaneRender on the GPU and requires the use of NVIDIA CUDA. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
