A14: It depends on your needs. SPEC provides the benchmarks and results as tools for you to use. You need to determine how you use a computer or what your performance requirements are and then choose the appropriate SPEC metric(s). A single user running a compute-intensive integer program, for example, might only be interested in SPECint2000 or SPECint_base2000. On the other hand, a person who maintains a machine used by multiple scientists running floating point simulations might be more concerned with SPECfp_rate2000 or SPECfp_rate_base2000.
