This document describes how graphics workstation performance is currently measured and how performance should be measured in the future. Four levels of graphics system performance measurements are low-level primitives (points and Lines), pictures (collections of points and lines), systems (collections of pictures), and applications (collections of systems). The different techniques for measuring performance vary widely depending on the hardware manufacturer, the software programmer, or the article author. This paper discusses performance. measurements of real-time graphics application with emphasis on expressing the measurements in common terms 3D Visual simulation systems, graphics workstation
performance measurements.

Visualization of high-resolution digital terrain
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1989-06);We explore two methods for real-time generation of more realistic two and three-dimensional terrain displays than what are currently available on relatively inexpensive graphics workstations. The first method involves ... -
Workstation graphics capabilities for the 1990's and beyond
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1985-09); NPS52-85-012We present in this paper a look at the future graphics capabilities of the workstation. We begin by examining the cycles of special hardware development that have occurred for graphics systems in general. We show how the ...
