Benchmark Description
SPEC CPU2000 consists of two suites of benchmarks which test integer and floating-point performance. Each suite has two different ways of measuring performance, Speed (often referred to as CPU) and Rate. Speed results are single threaded performance metrics; Rate results are user configurable from 1 to N jobs to put a load on the system and the number of jobs is reported as part of the benchmark report.
Goals of suite: SPEC CPU2000 is designed to provide performance measurements that can be used to compare compute-intensive workloads on different computer systems.
