Benchmark Description
The SPEC APC MCAD benchmarks consist of tasks representative of what a designer would do in a typical session. This consists of "Graphics", "CPU", and "I/O" activities. A subscore is given for each of these subcategories as well as the overall score. The benchmark results shown here pertain to the SPEC APC UGS-NX3 benchmark. The MCAD application Unigraphics was used. This is a prominent system used by major engineering organizations worldwide.
The characteristics of this MCAD application benchmark are very similar to other types of MCAD application benchmarks in that it consists of several groups of tasks each group involving different types of activity: graphics intensive, cpu intensive, and I/O intensive.
