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.

How to join

Benchmark Development Programs are open to established hardware and software companies that have significant market share and company values that are complementary to the objectives of the program.
