SiSoftware Sandra Lite 2020 Build 30.31 SP3

Broad Operating System Support
• All current versions supported: Windows 10, 8.1*, 8*, 7*; Server 2019, 2016, 2012/R2 and 2008/R2*

Brand new AI/ML benchmarks featuring both CNN & RNN networks testing both inference/forward and training/back-propagation performance.

Processor Neural Networks (AI/ML)
• A combined performance index of CNN (inference/forward & training) & RNN (inference/forward & training) for all precisions (single/FP32, double/FP64 floating-point) and instruction sets (AVX512, AVX2/FMA, AVX, SSE4, SSE2, RTM/HLE with NUMA and large-page support)

• Ranker: Processor Neural Networks (Normal/Single Precision)
• Ranker: Processor Neural Networks (High/Double Precision)

GP (GPU) Neural Networks (AI/ML)
• A combined performance index of CNN (inference/forward & training) & RNN (inference/forward & training) for all precisions (half/FP16, single/FP32 floating-point) and platforms (CUDA, OpenCL, DirectX Compute)

• GP (GPU) Neural Networks (Normal/Single Precision)
• GP (GPU) Neural Networks (Low/Half Precision)

CNN (Convolution Neural Network) Architecture
• Detailed document on the CNN architecture, data-sets and results that underpin our choices for the new benchmarks.

• The new Neural Networks (AI/ML) Benchmarks: CNN Architecture

RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) Architecture
• Detailed document on the RNN architecture, data-sets and results that underpin our choices for the new benchmarks.

• The new Neural Networks (AI/ML) Benchmarks: RNN Architecture

Major changes

• All connections to website engines (Ranker, Information, Price) are now secured by SSL through HTTP.
• Sandra client (management console) is now installed as native 64-bit (on x64 and arm64) and thus needs 64-bit Access components (2016, 2013, 2010, etc.) or SQL Server (2017, 2016, 2014, etc) for its database.

Key features of Sandra 20/20

• 4 native architectures support (x86, x64, ARM64** – Windows; ARM, ARM64, x86, x64 – Android)
Huge official hardware support through technology partners (AMD/ATI, nVidia, Intel).
• 4 native (GP)GPU/APU platforms support (OpenCL 2.1+, CUDA 10.1+, DirectX Compute Shader 11/10+, OpenGL Compute 4.5+, Vulkan 1.0+).
• 4 native Graphics platforms support (DirectX 11.x/10.x, OpenGL 4.0+, Vulkan 1.0+).
• 9 language versions (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Traditional, Simplified), Russian) in a single installer.
• Enhanced Sandra Lite (Eval) version (free for personal/educational use, evaluation for other uses)
