News and Releases
Here are the very latest news from SiSoftware:
2012 SiSoftware Sandra 2012 Released: London, UK, 7th November 2011 - Device Performance Certification, General Processing (GP) for GPU/APU, .Net/METRO for Windows 8.

In preparation for Windows 8 and its brand-new METRO API running on .Net (as used on Windows Phone 7.x), we have updated our .Net benchmarks that can measure .Net CLR performance. The GPGPU benchmarks have been upgraded to General Processing (GP) benchmarks, able to fully test the new APU (CPU+GPU) processors.

Using statistical analysis tools against the 1 million+ benchmark results submitted to the Official SiSoftware Ranker, you can now certify* whether your tested device operates at peak performance. Based on the quality and variability of the results you can determine whether there are issues with the device that need to be addressed. more...

DirectX 11 Compute Shader SiSoftware DirectX 11 Compute Shader Support Released: London, UK, 4th January 2010 - SiSoftware releases its suite of DirectX 11 Compute Shader GPGPU benchmarks as part of SiSoftware Sandra 2010.

Compute Shader/DirectCompute is a new programmable shader stage introduced with DirectX 11 that expands Direct3D beyond graphics programming. We believe Compute Shader/DirectCompute will become "the standard" for programming parallel workloads in Windows, thus we have ported all our GPGPUs benchmarks to DirectX 11 Compute Shader/DirectCompute. more...

OpenCL SiSoftware OpenCL Support Released: London, UK, 30th November 2009 - SiSoftware releases its suite of OpenCL GPGPU benchmarks as part of SiSoftware Sandra 2010.

OpenCL is an open standard for running parallel tasks on GPUs, CPUs and hardware accelerators using the same code - unlike proprietary solutions. We believe OpenCL will become "the standard" for programming parallel workloads in the future, thus we have ported all our GPGPUs benchmarks to OpenCL. more...
