EnSight Viewset (ensight-02)
The ensight-02 viewset has been updated to bring it closer to the behavior of the real application data stream. The new viewset provides the ability to compare display list and immediate mode paths, and additional quality checks for display list results. It represents engineering and scientific visualization
workloads created from traces of CEI's EnSight application.
CEI contributed the models and suggested workloads. Various modes
of the EnSight application are tested using both display-list
and immediate-mode paths through the OpenGL API. The model data
is replicated by SPECviewperf 8.1 to generate 3.2 million vertices
per frame.
State changes as made by the application are included throughout
the rendering of the model, including matrix, material, light
and line-stipple changes. All state changes are derived from a
trace of the running application. The state changes put considerably
more stress on graphics subsystems than the simple geometry dumps
found in older viewsets.
Mirroring the application, both immediate-mode and display-list
modes are measured. See notes on specific tests for more information.
