<b>SPEC</b> JVM Client98 Help

Configuration Files

User



Set the properties in this file to control operation of the SPEC JVM Client98 benchmark tools, typically located in "props/user" relative to the top level SPEC installation directory. You can run the benchmarks specifying an alternate location for this file, thus using a different set of parameters without having to edit the file repeatedly.

 Property

 Description

 spec.benchmarkGroup3.00=group_name
spec.benchmarkGroup3.01=benchmark_name
spec.benchmarkGroup3.02=benchmark_name
spec.benchmarkGroup3.03=benchmark_name
 You can make your own benchmark groups for test purposes You should use the group numbers next in sequence after the last group defined in 'props/spec'
spec.initial.autodelay=integer Milliseconds of delay in between executions in an autorun sequence. The maximum value the benchmark will accept per SPEC run rules is 1000 ms.
 spec.initial.automax=integer  Maximum number of executions to perform in an autorun sequence even if the tolerance parameter above indicates it should continue
 spec.initial.autogc=boolean  whether to perform gc in between executions in an autorun sequence
  spec.initial.automin=integer   Minimum number of executions to perform in an autorun sequence even if the tolerance parameter above indicates it should terminate
 spec.initial.clientFile=path  Location of configuration properties file describing your client configuration, relative to the top level SPEC installation directory.
 spec.initial.console=boolean  If true, the console button is enabled. Until you press this button, any output from individual benchmarks is discarded. If you press the button, output from that time on is displayed in a new scrolling text window. Then, even if you later close that window, output is still retained and can be viewed later by pressing the console button again. If this property is false, the console button is disabled and all output from individual benchmarks is sent to your Java console from where, depending on your JVM, you may be able to capture it in a local file
 spec.initial.default.group=name  Specify which benchmark group is selected by default. In interactive mode you can always change this to something else, but in batch mode this is the only place you can specify this value. If not set, then the compliant group (All) is selected.
 spec.initial.default.size=integer, 1, 10, or 100  Specify which problem size is selected by default. In interactive mode you can always change this to something else, but in batch mode this is the only place you can specify this value. If not set, then the compliant size (100) is selected
 spec.initial.interactive=boolean  If 'interactive' is true, the benchmark runs in interactive mode. If false, it automatically selects all of the benchmarks in the 'default.group' and the size specified by 'default.size', and performs an auto-run of those benchmarks. When the benchmark run is complete, it emails the results to the address you specify below in the 'emailTo' property. After sending the results, if the benchmarks are running in standalone application mode, the program exits. If they are running in applet mode, it does not exit (of course).
 spec.initial.resultDelay=integer  If resultDelay is set then it specifies how many minutes to delay after finishing the benchmarks before sending results. This is to give the user a chance to look at the results on the screen if [s]he happens to be there.
 spec.initial.maxRows=integer  The setup screen where you enter/edit your configuration for reporting, adjusts itself to the size of your screen. If it doesn't do so correctly, you can set this property to further limit the number of rows displayed per pane
 spec.initial.noteFile=path  Location of configuration properties file containing your tuning notes, relative to the top level SPEC installation directory.
 spec.initial.percentTimes100=integer  Select tolerance for auto-run specified in percent times 100 I.e., 200 means 2.0%. If successive runs do not improve by at least this amount, then terminate an autorun sequence
 spec.initial.serverFile=path  Location of configuration properties file describing your server configuration, relative to the top level SPEC installation directory.
 spec.initial.specDates=boolean  If "true" then format dates on the reporting page according to the locale of the SPEC office instead of the local date format
 spec.testx.emailReturn=email_address  Return address used for test results emailed by the benchmark program
 spec.testx.emailTo=email_address  This is where your test results are automatically mailed at the conclusion of a batch run, and the default address used for an interactive run, which you can override.
 spec.testx.mailHost=hostname  SNMP mail host used to relay test results mail
