What are the basic steps in running the benchmarks?
Installation and use are covered in detail in the SPEC MPI2007 User Documentation. The basic steps are: • Ensure that you meet the system requirements. • Install SPEC MPI2007 from the DVD on Unix, Linux or Microsoft Windows. • Determine which metric you wish to run. • Learn about runspec, which is the primary SPEC-provided tool. • Locate a configuration file as a starting point. Hints about where to find one are in runspec.html. Or write a new one. • Use runspec to build (compile) the benchmarks. • If the above steps are successful, use runspec to run, validate, and create a report on the performance of the benchmarks. If you wish to generate results suitable for quoting in public, you will need to carefully study and adhere to the run rules.
A7: Installation and use are covered in detail in the SPEC OMP2001 User Documentation. The basic steps are as follows: • Install SPEC OMPM2001 or SPEC OMPL2001 from media. • Run the installation scripts specifying your operating system. • Compile the tools if executables are not provided in SPEC OMP2001. • Determine which metric you want to run. • Create a configuration file for that metric. In this file, you specify compiler flags and other system-dependent information. • Run the SPEC tools to build (compile), run and validate the benchmarks. • If the above steps are successful, generate a report based on the run times and metric equations.
A8: Installation and use are covered in detail in the SPEC CPU2000 User Documentation. The basic steps are as follows: • Install CPU2000 from media. • Run the installation scripts specifying your operating system. • Compile the tools if executables are not provided in CPU2000. • Determine which metric you want to run. • Create a configuration file for that metric. In this file, you specify compiler flags and other system-dependent information. • Run the SPEC tools to build (compile), run and validate the benchmarks. • If the above steps are successful, generate a report based on the run times and metric equations.
