World's First DirectCompute, GPGPU benchmark released



After last week the world saw its first DirectX 11 benchmark - courtesy of Unigine Corporation, the time has obviously come to see the world's first DirectCompute benchmark.

Download the DirectCompute Benchmark - Click on ImageWe got the nod from Eran Badit, editor-in-chief of NGOHQ.Com - their Forum member "Pat" released his first public version of DirectCompute benchmark, currently in version 0.15. This application tests the GPGPU capabilities by calculation FFT-like data and some memory transfers. For a first public appearance, the benchmark looks good even though we have to qualify it in the synthetic benchmark section.

The application itself relies on DirectX 11 environment - you can use either Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 [unlike ATI demos which require Windows 7 OS instead of DX version checkup]. Also, the developer recommends using the latest drivers for the graphics cards.

It is also worth to mention is that the benchmark is not limited for only DirectX 11-class hardware, so owners of nVidia hardware don't need to cry foul over nVidia's inability to produce hardware according to their own roadmaps and promises.

If you are interested in this benchmark, you can download DirectCompute Benchmark v0.15 from the download section at NGOHQ.Com.

9800GTX runs this well by: Anonymous on 11/9/2009
all nVidia's DX10 card can run DirectCompute if you use windows7 or windows vista sp2 DX11. of course 9800GTX can run this too. ATI's DX10, DX10.1 cards are not yet applied. only 5800 5700 series can run DirectCompute.
Does it run on nVidia 9800GTX by: Anonymous on 11/4/2009

LOL. Another DirectX 11 benchmark. I wonder how much dough John Fruehe wastes on advertising like this. Not only is it bound by Windows, true GPGPU clusters like Japan's Tsubame use Linux. So a proper OpenCL GPGPU benchmark is overdue.

New Servers are in!

 Greetings and welcome to BSN*,

We have just acquired several brand new servers that are being configured on a multiple 100Mbps links and set up in line with the new features and services that are launching soon. We were assured this investment will solve any issues that plagued the site as a consequence of being linked on mainstream media networks.

We will inform you when the server change takes place, as BSN will be offline for 24-72 hours. Expect a heads-up a week ahead.
