Division IV Maximum Power Test for Workstations

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The maximum power for workstations is found by the simultaneous operation of two industry standard benchmarks: Linpack to stress the core system (e.g. processor, memory, etc.) and SPECviewperf® (latest available version for the UUT) to stress the system’s GPU. Additional information on these benchmarks, including free downloads, can be found at the URLs found below:

SPECviewperf®http://www.spec.org/benchmarks.html#gpc

This test must be repeated three times on the same UUT, and all three measurements must fall within a ± 2 % tolerance relative to the average of the three measured maximum power values.

Measurement of the maximum AC power consumption of a workstation should be conducted as follows:

  1. UUT Preparation
  2. Maximum Power Testing
  3. Reporting Test Results
