A7: The user must have a computer system running UNIX or Windows NT with C, C++, and FORTRAN90 (FORTRAN77 may be used for some benchmarks) compilers. A CD-ROM drive must also be available. Depending on the system under test, approximately 1GB will be needed on a hard drive to install, build and run SPEC CPU2000. It is also assumed that the system has at least 256MB of RAM to ensure that the benchmarks remain compute-intensive (SPEC is requiring a larger memory size to measure the performance of larger applications). While it is possible to build a system with less memory, this would introduce paging effects into the measurement, making it less compute-intensive.
