Sandra 2014:

SiSoftware Sandra, the latest version of the award-winning utility, includes remote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs, servers, mobile devices and networks.
At SiSoftware from version to version we focus four key areas of software development to make sure we give our users the best software experience. Quite simply our four drivers are:
* New CPU benchmark: Scientific Analysis
- Inclusion of new technologies that ensure our tools remain current.
- Increased hardware and software support for existing modules.
- Improving the user interface to make it a richer easier user experience.
- Filling gaps in the product line in response to our customers' needs.
- 3 common algorithms: GEMM (matrix multiply), FFT (fast Fourier transform), N-Body simulation
- 2 precision: single/float, double/FP64
- SSE2, SSE3, AVX, FMA support where possible
- same workload as GP scientific analysis benchmark - to directly compare CPU vs. GPGPU performance.
* New GP benchmark: Scientific Analysis
- 3 common algorithms: GEMM (matrix multiply), FFT (fast Fourier transform), N-Body simulation
- 2 precision: single/float, double/FP64
- 2 interfaces: CUDA, OpenCL (with DirectX ComputeShader to come)
- not using any vendor specific library like cuBLAS, cuFFT, MKL, etc.
- same workload as CPU scientific analysis benchmark - to directly compare CPU vs. GPGPU performance.
* Updated System benchmark: Overall Score
- Replaced GP crypto with financial analysis (now that most CPUs have crypto HWA support there is no point doing crypto on GPGPU)
- Updated weights to match modern devices (mobile, laptop, desktop and server)
* Updated CPU benchmark: Arithmetic
- New libraries for Whetstone SSE3 / SSE4.1 / AVX
- 2 precision: single/float, double/FP64
- float score is geometric mean of both float and double (was just double before)
* Updated cache/memory benchmark: latency
- measure L0 cache latency
- data and code caches
* Updated cache/memory benchmark: bandwidth
- measure L0 cache bandwidth
* Updated style for Windows 8.1 w/high-DPI (retina) resolution
Huge icons (256x256 PNG) that look good even at 200% 192 ppi or higher (e.g. latest 10" 2560x1600 pixels) or even a MacBook pro
The previous theme (Aero/Metal) is included for Windows 7 / Vista. Windows XP is supported but deprecated - i.e. next Sandra version (2015) will definitely not support it.
* Sandra 2013 SP7
All the fixes in 2014 and minor enhancements will be back-ported to 2013.SP7. So if you really need to stick with 2013, an update will be landing soon.
* More to come soon
