SPECviewperf^® 2020 v3.0 Linux Edition

Hardware and Operating System Requirements

• Canonical Ubuntu Linux 20.04
• 16GB of system RAM or greater
• 80GB of available disk space
• A minimum screen resolution of 1920×1080 for submissions published on the SPEC website
• OpenGL 4.5 support
• A GPU with 2GB or greater dedicated GPU memory

Benchmark Run Rules

1. The system under test must perform all of the respective graphics API’s functionality and other work requested by the benchmark.
2. The systems under test must be OpenGL Conformant for the pixel format or visual used by the benchmark.
3. Settings for environment variables, registry variables and hints must not disable compliant behavior.
4. No interaction is allowed with the system under test during the benchmark, unless required by the benchmark.
5. The system under test cannot skip frames during the benchmark run.
6. It is not permissible to change the system configuration during the running of a given benchmark. For example, one cannot power off the system, make some changes, then power back on and run the rest of the benchmark.
7. Screen grabs for SPECviewperf will be full window size.
8. The color depth used must be at least 24 bits (true color), with at least 8 bits of red, 8 bits of green and 8 bits of blue.
9. If a depth buffer is requested, it must have at least 24 bits of resolution.
10. The display raster resolution must be at least as high as that selected in the “Resolution” dropdown of the SPECviewperf user interface and must fully display all of the benchmark tests being submitted. Higher desktop resolutions may be used, and while the operating system may create the appearance of a higher raster resolution, the actual raster resolution corresponds to that selected and will be noted in the results file and log files. An optional feature to adjust the raster resolution to the native resolution of the display (less a ten-pixel border) may be selected, but not all viewsets will support this.

Known Issues

• The Viewsets Manager will fail to launch after previously installing one or more viewsets. To install additional viewsets, users must first manually remove all previously installed viewsets, which are located in your installation’s viewsets folder. If you encounter permission errors, you may need administrator privileges (e.g., sudo rm -rf /opt/SPEC/SPECviewperf2020/viewsets/*)
