Abstract

Since 1989, the SPEC CPU benchmarks have aspired to ambitious goals: fair, portable, comparable tests using the compute-intensive portion of real applications. It may be difficult today to remember just how much of a challenge these goals presented when SPEC was first founded, or how much of a break they were from previous industry practice.
