The SPECapc for Maya 2024 benchmark consists of 43 tests using 11 different models and animations. It includes eight different graphics tests in various modes and five different CPU tests. The graphics-oriented tests use six different Maya view settings -- Shaded, Shaded SSAO, wireframe on shading, wireframe on shaded SSAO, textured, and textured SSAO. Various tests measure both animation and 3D model rotation performance. Five CPU tests within the benchmark perform CPU ray tracing and evaluation caching in various modes.

Key Points: 
  • The new benchmark enables users to test the performance of systems running Autodesk Maya 2024, the latest version of the software.
  • The benchmark also includes the SPECapc for Maya 2024 Workload Development Kit (WDK) to support testing custom workloads.
  • The SPECapc for Maya 2024 benchmark consists of 43 tests using 11 different models and animations.
  • In addition to updating the benchmark for Maya 2024, the SPEC Application Performance Characterization Committee added the SPECapc for Maya 2024 WDK, a framework allowing users to run their own GPU-specific workloads using the same measurement and output techniques.
