Data Explorer (DX-05) Viewset
Taken from: http://www.spec.org/gpc/opc.static/dx.htm
The IBM Visualization Data Explorer (DX) is a general-purpose software package for scientific data visualization and analysis. It employs a data-flow driven client-server execution model and is currently available on Unix workstations from Silicon Graphics, IBM, Sun, Hewlett-Packard and Digital Equipment. The OpenGL port of Data Explorer was completed with the recent release of DX 2.1.
The tests visualize a set of particle traces through a vector flow field. The width of each tube represents the magnitude of the velocity vector at that location. Data such as this might result from simulations of fluid flow through a constriction. The object represented contains about 1,000 triangle meshes containing approximately 100 verticies each. This is a medium-sized data set for DX.
While we once thought that the Athlon's slower L2 cache was keeping it behind the Pentium III it turns out that the KX133 and some updated drivers was all that the Athlon needed. Once again the top three spots are awarded to Athlon systems and even with the Pentium III, the 133A test bed pulls ahead because of the updated drivers that help to boost performance on motherboards that use VIA's AGP 4X North Bridges (694X & 371).
