Benchmark Author

Benchmark Program General Category
3-D graphics library
Benchmark Description
Mesa is a free OpenGL work-alike library. Since it supports a generic frame
buffer it can be configured to have no OS or window system dependencies.
Any number of client programs can be written to stress FP, scalar or memory
performance (or a mix). Output can be written to image files for
verification.
Input Description
The input data is a 2D scalar field. The scalar data is mapped to height,
creating a 3D object with explicit vertex normals. Contour lines are mapped
onto the object as a 1D texture.
Output Description
A 2D image file in PNG
(pronounced "ping") format.
Programming Language
ANSI C
Known portability issues
None
