Graphics and Workstation Performance

High Performance Computing, OpenMP, MPI

  • SPEC MPI2007
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    MPI2007 is SPEC's benchmark suite for evaluating MPI-parallel, floating point, compute intensive performance across a wide range of cluster and SMP hardware. The suite consists of the intial MPIM2007 suite and MPIL2007, which contains larger working sets and longer run times than MPIM2007.

  • SPEC OMP2012
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    The successor to the OMP2001, designed for measuring performance using applications based on the OpenMP 3.1 standard for shared-memory parallel processing. OMP2012 also includes an optional metric for measuring energy consumption.

  • SPEC OMP2001
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    SPEC's benchmark suite that measures performance using applications based on the OpenMP standard for shared-memory parallel processing. The suite consists of OMPM2001 and OMPL2001, which contains larger working sets and longer run times than OMPM2001.

  • SPECjbb2013
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    The SPECjbb2013 benchmark has been developed from the ground up to measure performance based on the latest Java application features. It is relevant to all audiences who are interested in Java server performance, including JVM vendors, hardware developers, Java application developers, researchers and members of the academic community.

  • SPECjbb2005
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    A benchmark for evaluating the performance of servers running typical Java business applications, JBB2005 represents an order processing application for a wholesale supplier. The benchmark can be used to evaluate performance of hardware and software aspects of Java Virtual Machine (JVM) servers.

  • SPECjbb2000
    [Retired]

  • SPECjEnterprise2010
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    SPECjEnterprise2010 measures full-system performance for Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 5 or later application servers, databases and supporting infrastructure and expands the scope of the SPECjAppServer2004 benchmark.

  • SPECjms2007
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    SPECjms2007 is the first industry-standard benchmark for evaluating the performance of enterprise message-oriented middleware servers based on JMS (Java Message Service). It provides a standard workload and performance metrics for competitive product comparisons, as well as a framework for indepth performance analysis of enterprise messaging platforms.

  • SPECjvm2008
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [download benchmark]
    SPECjvm2008 is a benchmark suite for measuring the performance of a Java Runtime Environment (JRE), containing several real life applications and benchmarks focusing on core java functionality. The SPECjvm2008 workload mimics a variety of common general purpose application computations.

Power

  • SPECpower_ssj2008
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    SPECpower_ssj2008 is the first industry-standard SPEC benchmark that evaluates the power and performance characteristics of volume server class computers. The initial benchmark addresses the performance of server-side Java, and additional workloads are planned.

  • Server Efficiency Rating Tool (SERT)
    [benchmark info] [support] [order benchmark]
    The Server Efficiency Rating Tool (SERT) was created by Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) at the request of the US Environmental Protection Agency. It is intended to measure server energy efficiency, initially as part of the second generation of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ENERGY STAR for Computer Servers program. Designed to be simple to configure and use via a comprehensive graphical user interface, the SERT uses a set of synthetic worklets to test discrete system components such as memory and storage, providing detailed power consumption data at different load levels.

SIP

  • SPECsip_infrastructure2011
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    SPEC's benchmark designed to evaluate a system's ability to act as a SIP server supporting a particular SIP application. The application modeled is a VoIP deployment for an enterprise, telco, or service provider, where the SIP server performs proxying and registration.

SOA

  • SOA
    [info]
    SPEC has formed a new subcommittee to develop standard methods of measuring performance for typical middleware, database and hardware deployments of applications based on the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Virtualization

  • SPECvirt_sc2010
    [benchmark info] [published results] [support] [order benchmark]
    SPEC's first benchmark addressing performance evaluation of datacenter servers used in virtualized server consolidation. SPECvirt_sc2010 measures the end-to-end performance of all system components including the hardware, virtualization platform, and the virtualized guest operating system and application software. The benchmark supports hardware virtualization, operating system virtualization, and hardware partitioning schemes.
