Benchmark Development Program

The Benchmark Development Program (BDP) is a Futuremark initiative for building partnerships with hardware and technology manufacturers. The objective of the BDP is to create relevant and impartial benchmarks by working in close co-operation with program members. We provide members with specifications and regular development builds of new benchmarks then evaluate member feedback to improve the software. This open process of co-operation with all members produces benchmarks that reliably provide consistent, vendor-neutral results to the benefit of both industry and consumers.

Benefits of membership

• You will play a critical role in the development of our benchmarks, from first specification to final delivery.
• You can provide input and feedback during all stages of benchmark development.
• You can test, review and evaluate production, alpha, beta and release candidate code.
• A companywide site license is included with your membership.
