Durham, NC – Virtual reality (VR) continues to open new and exciting worlds of possibility, but how do consumers know if their tech can handle its computing demands? The XPRTs have long provided the tools everyone needs to inform purchases, and now they’re turning to VR. For more, see the video at https://youtu.be/liqJyKsDp-c.

Principled Technologies (PT) and the BenchmarkXPRT Development Community, which PT administers, recently sponsored a senior project at the NC State Computer Science Department Senior Design Center. PT advised NC State team members Christian McCurdy, Gregory Manning, Grayson Jones, and Shon Ferguson in the development of a prototype virtual reality evaluation tool.

“Developing the VR benchmark with XPRT tools as guidelines taught us to test for a more real-world scenario instead of trying for numbers that consumers might not understand,” said student Grayson Jones.

Durham, NC – Principled Technologies (PT) and the BenchmarkXPRT Development Community, which PT administers, are pleased to announce an initiative to develop a new tool for evaluating systems’ machine learning performance.

Machine learning is a disruptive technology that has the potential to influence a broad range of industries. While there are many available consumer and commercial applications that utilize machine learning for computer vision, natural language processing, and data analytics, there is currently no comprehensive machine learning or deep learning benchmark that includes home, automotive, industrial, and retail use cases.

“These are still the early days of the technology. A fragmented software and hardware landscape and lack of standardization make it complex and challenging to evaluate performance in machine learning,” said Bill Catchings, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of PT. “We’ve decided to take on that challenge, and we invite all interested parties to participate in the creation, evaluation, and testing of this new tool.”

The new tool will join the rest of the industry-standard benchmarks from the BenchmarkXPRT Development Community: WebXPRT, MobileXPRT, TouchXPRT, CrXPRT, BatteryXPRT, and HDXPRT.

DURHAM, NC–(Marketwired – October 05, 2016) – Today, Principled Technologies (PT) announced that the popular WebXPRT tool recently crossed a milestone of 100,000 total runs.

WebXPRT lets users everywhere compare the performance of any web-enabled device—from iPad tablets to Android phones to Windows computers. Manufacturers, developers, consumers, and media outlets in more than 358 cities and 57 countries have used WebXPRT’s easy-to-understand results to compare how well different devices handle everyday tasks.

WebXPRT is available to the public for free and runs in almost any browser. To read more about WebXPRT and run the test, visit WebXPRT.com.

WebXPRT is part of the BenchmarkXPRT family of benchmarks (the XPRTs), a set of apps designed to help test how well devices handle everyday tasks such as editing photos, playing movies, and browsing the web. Some XPRT tools even measure battery life. All of the BenchmarkXPRT family (the XPRTs) of evaluation tools are available to the public for free.

The BenchmarkXPRT Development Community is a forum where registered members can contribute to the process of creating and improving the XPRTs. To learn more about the BenchmarkXPRT Development Community and the XPRT family of benchmarks, visit BenchmarkXPRT.com.
