Silicon Graphics is one of the sponsors of the GPC project.  The benchmarks
are currently in the final stage before the first release.  The GPC committee
expects to demonstrate full working versions of the benchmarks at SIGGRAPH.
Anyone may bring their own data set and run it on all of the sponsors' machines
at the show.  To get more information about the benchmark ( including a copy of
the file formats ), contact Bob Willis at NCGA:

		National Computer Graphics Association
		2722 Merrilee Drive
		Suite 200
		Fairfax, VA 22031
		(703) 698-9600

Silicon Graphics intends to have a Graphics Library version of the benchmark
in our booth at the show.  You will need to ask for Mark Daly at our booth for
a demonstration.

Gene Miya responded to the original GPC query by refering to TIGPE.  Silicon
Graphics is also participating in the TIGPE group.  This group is cooperating
with the GPC committee ( and actually has members who attend both groups'
meetings).  The work done by GPC is on a "Picture Level Benchmark (PLB)" while
the work being done by TIGPE is more of a features benchmarks (e.i. vectors per
second or polygons per second).

If you have any further questions on these, you can contact me directly via
e-mail.
