Welcome to the HDXPRT Development Community blog! I’m Bill Catchings, and Mark Van Name and I will be writing this blog along with a few other key folks from the PT (Principled Technologies) team. I’ve worked on benchmarks and performance analysis since the 1980s. On the team at PT, we have people who’ve worked on such influential past benchmarks as Winstone, WinBench, 3D WinBench, and WebBench. We’re all excited to be leading the HDXPRT Development Community (HDC).
Our goal with this blog is to give a glimpse of the world behind the HDXPRT (High Definition eXperience Performance Ratings Test) benchmark and its development community. HDXPRT 2011 will be the result of the work of the HDC to define what the benchmark should do. HDXPRT 2011 is now in beta test with members of the HDC. Over the next few weeks, we would greatly appreciate whatever help you can give us in trying out the benchmark, shaking out bugs, and producing a polished product.
Thanks in advance to the HDC!
If you are reading this and are not a member of the HDC, I’d like to encourage you to join us. Annual membership is just $20. If you join in the next week or so, you will get a copy of the HDXPRT 2011 Beta and be able to provide feedback on it. We’d love to have you on board!
Bill
