Picture-Level Benchmark (PLB)
Under Construction
Last updated 27 June 1994
The PLB is designed to measure the performance of CRT-based systems.
The only requirements for the PLB to work are that geometry be presented to
the system in a specified format and that the PLB program has been ported to
the device under test. The PLB includes these major components:
- The Benchmark Interface Format (BIF), the file format for specifying the geometry and actions that will be performed in a test.
- The Benchmark Timing Methodology (BTM), which provides a standardized performance measurement.
- The Benchmark Reporting Format (BRF), for standardized reporting of test results.
- The Picture-Level Benchmark (PLB) program, which implemente BIF file processing and runs the test.
- Test files, a suite of test files for testing PLB implementations.
- BIF standard benchmark files, a suite of files that are used for
graphics performance tests. Click
