News and Releases
Here are the very latest news from SiSoftware:
2013 SP3 SiSoftware Sandra 2013 SP3 Released: London, UK, 26th Mar 2013 - New Financial Analysis GP(GPU) / CPU new benchmarks.

We are adding new benchmarks using popular / "de facto" algorithms used in their respective fields in order to give you a broader view of the tested device's performance. That does not mean we are abandoning the "synthetic" tests but giving you more choices.

The new benchmarks launched today are the first (we're not waiting for major new versions like other ISVs) not the last - watch for the next service pack(s)! more...

2013 SP2 SiSoftware Sandra 2013 SP2 Released: London, UK, 1st Mar 2013 - New Memory Transaction Throughput benchmark.

Measures the transaction throughput of the memory sub-system using different locks and update algorithms. It shows the improvement the new transactional synchronisation extensions (TSX: HLE and RTM of Intel Haswell and future AMD CPUs) bring to locking mechanisms that are used in modern multithreaded operating systems and applications. more...

DirectX Compute Shader GPGPU SiSoftware DirectX 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 GPGPU 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...
