Workload Scenarios

SYSmark 2007 Preview includes four workload scenarios: E-Learning, Office Productivity, Video Creation and 3D Modeling. Each scenario represents the workload of a simulated user accomplishing a set of common tasks. Several applications are used in these scenarios. The performance of the machine under test is measured by recording the system's response time for each individual operation in each scenario. See SYSmark 2007 Preview scoring methodology for more details.

E-Learning

This scenario includes tasks executed in the creation of an on-line teaching facility. It integrates rich image, video, and audio content in a web page for presentation of learning materials. E-Learning uses the following applications:

Office Productivity

This scenario models data analysis as performed with common office applications. Communication, data processing, project management, and file manipulation comprise this scenario. Office Productivity uses the following applications:

Video Creation

This sceanrio executes the creation of a video using special effects and images from multiple sources. The content is created for both online streaming transfer and high-resolution download viewing. Video Creation uses the following applications:

3D Modeling

This scenario is tasked to develop an architectural presentation of a prospective construction project, creating a flyby animation and photorealistic image of the completed building. 3D Modeling uses the following applications:
