MetaBench is a benchmarking program being developed by 7Byte. Consisting
of more than 55 different tests designed to benchmark high-end systems.
Benchmarks are carefully designed in consideration with new CPUs and
system architectures. It consists of two types of benchmarks: Synthetic
and practical. Its synthetic test measures different component's
performance purely. Practical tests are consisted of different
algorithms being used in different software. They are designed to
measure performance of the whole system as unit, they include Raytrace
Rendering, Ogg Vorbis audio encoding/decoding (very similar to MP3),
Blowfish encryption/decryption, Fast Fourier Transforms(FFT) tests and
PPMD compression method.
