Software Description:
Sandra – the latest version of itsaward-winning utility which includes remote analysis, benchmarkingand diagnostic features for PCs, servers, PDAs1, Smart Phones1,small office/home office (SOHO) networks and enterprise networks.SiSoftware Sandra (the System ANalyser, Diagnostic and ReportingAssistant) is an information & diagnostic utility. It shouldprovide most of the information (including undocumented) you needto know about your hardware, software and other devices whetherhardware or software. It works along the lines of other Windowsutilities, however it tries to go beyond them and show you more ofwhat’s really going on. Giving the user the ability to drawcomparisons at both a high and low-level. You can get informationabout the CPU, chipset, video adapter, ports, printers, sound card,memory, network, Windows internals, AGP, PCI, PCI-X, PCIe (PCIExpress), database, USB, USB2, 1394/Firewire, etc.
Sandra 2016
We are pleased to announce the launch of SiSoftware Sandra 2016,the latest version of our award-winning utility, which includesremote analysis, benchmarking and diagnostic features for PCs,servers, mobile devices and networks.
We have expanded our portfolio with brand-new CPU and GPGPU ImageProcessing benchmarks (testing common filters) that support allmodern instruction sets (AVX2, FMA, AVX, SSE2) as well as GPGPUinterfaces (CUDA, OpenCL, DirectX 10/11 ComputeShader). SinceCompute is now supported in the very latest versions of OpenGL(4.3+) we have also ported the GPGPU benchmarks to this newinterface.
With the public release of Windows 10 RTM we have transitioned tothe brand-new tools in order to use the very latest technologies,including future DirectX 12 (both shader and compute).
As SiSoftware operates a “just-in-time” release cycle, somefeatures were introduced in Sandra 2015 service packs: in Sandra2015 they have been updated and enhanced based on all the feedbackreceived.
Here is an in-depth new feature list of Sandra2016:
Broad Operating System Support

CPU, GPGPU Image Processing
Common filters: blur, sharpen, sobel, median/de-noise
Image/photo manipulation is an increasing common task with GPGPUsincreasingly used to accelerate filter processing in popularprograms (e.g. Photoshop). This brand-new benchmark set tests theperformance of various filters:
– Blur: 3×3 Convolution Filter
– Sharpen: 5×5 Convolution Filter
– Motion Blur: 7×7 Convolution Filter
– Edge Detection: Horizontal + Vertical 5×5 Sobel Filter
– De-Noise: 5×5 Median Filter
CPU, GPGPU Image Processing
Modern vectorised and GPU interfaces
Image/photo manipulation is greatly accelerated through vectorisedSIMD instruction sets (FMA, AVX, SSE2) operating on multiple pixelsat the same time, but also increasingly accelerated by GPGPUs inmodern programs (e.g. Photoshop). This brand-new benchmark setsupports all GPGPU interfaces as well as SIMD instruction sets:
– GPGPU: CUDA (7.5), OpenCL (2.0, 1.2), DirectX Compute Shader(11/10), OpenGL Compute Shader (4.3+) [future DirectX 12support]
– CPU: AVX2, FMA3, AVX, SSE2 instruction sets [future AVX512support]
Updated Overall Score 2016 benchmark for complete systemperformance evaluation
16 benchmarks to fully evaluate computer performance
While each benchmark measures the performance of a specific device(CPU, Memory, (GP)GPU, Storage, etc.), there is a real need for abenchmark to evaluate the overall computer performance: this newbenchmark is a weighted average of the individual scores of theexisting benchmarks:
– Native CPU Arithmetic, Cryptographic, Multi-Media (SIMD),Financial and Scientific: measures native processing performanceusing the very latest instruction sets (AVX2, FMA3, AVX, SSE2)
– .Net/Java Arithmetic: measures software virtual machineperformance (e.g. for .Net WPF/Silverlight/Modern applications)
– Memory and Cache Bandwidth and Latency: measures memory andcaches performance
– File System/Storage Bandwidth and I/O: measures storageperformance
– GP (General Processing) / HC (Heterogonous Compute) (GPU/APU)Arithmetic, Cryptographic, Financial, Scientific: measures(GP)GPU/APU processing performance
– GP (General Processing) / HC (Heterogonous Compute) (GPU/APU)Memory Bandwidth and Latency: measures (GP)GPU/APU memoryperformance
Key features of Sandra 2016:
– 4 native architectures support (x86, x64 – Windows; ARM, ARM64,x86, x64 – Android)
