The benchmarks in the SPEChpc2002 V1.0 suite are derived
from real HPC applications and application practices, and measure the
overall performance of high-end computer systems, including the computer's
processors (CPUs), the interconnection system (shared or distributed
memory), the compilers, the MPI and/or OpenMP parallel library implementation,
and the input/output system.
HPC2002 has been retired - Effective June 20, 2007, SPEC is no longer
accepting HPC2002 results for publication on the SPEC web site. Sales of the
software were discontinued in February 2007, and technical support is no
longer provided.

The HPC2002 Benchmarks
The benchmarks which make up the HPC2002 suite are:
-
SPEC CHEM2002, which is based on a quantum chemistry
application called GAMESS and has performance metrics SPECchemM2002 and SPECchemS2002.
-
-
SPEC ENV2002, which is based on a weather research and
forecasting model called WRF. It has two metrics of performance, SPECenvM2002 and SPECenvS2002, one for each dataset size.
-
-
SPEC SEIS2002, which represents an industrial
application that performs time and depth migrations used to locate gas
and oil deposits and has performance metrics SPECseisM2002 and SPECseisS2002.
Each of the three benchmarks has both Small and Medium workloads available.
