Dacris Software is preparing the world"s first unified extensible online system benchmarking program. Built entirely with Microsoft .NET connected technology, "Carleton" is set to revolutionize how benchmarking is done in the hardware industry. "Carleton" will provide a huge variety of system performance tests and optimizations, using the latest technologies such as DirectX 9. It is designed from the ground up to be a program that accurately measures how fast real-life tasks are performed on personal computer systems, and business workstations and servers. On top of that, "Carleton" will deliver online services which allow storing of results and configuration data online. Through these Internet services, "Carleton" will allow system administrators to store all their information online or in a centralized XML data store. "Carleton" will also support client-server testing, reducing the amount of time required to test an entire network of systems by using distributed benchmarking. "Carleton" will be fully extensible through plugins and language packs, allowing it to run optimally in any configuration and meeting every user"s needs. "Carleton" will also include advanced reporting features and the ability to compare results with as many systems as there are in our online database. Finally, "Carleton" is going to offer highly specialized tests so you know exactly the weak and strong points of your system configuration.
