The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) is a non-profit corporation formed to establish, maintain and endorse a standardized set of relevant benchmarks for high-performance computers. Currently SPEC benchmark suites include: o CINT92 -- 6 integer intensive execution benchmarks o CFP92 -- 14 floating point intensive execution benchmarks o SDM -- 2 benchmarks of system support for software development SPEC benchmarks are currently written in FORTRAN and C. The benchmark suites also include a harness and utilities for running the benchmarks, measuring times, and computing results. Ideal Ada candidates for the CINT/CFP benchmark suites should: o Be real applications of substantial size o Be portable across many systems and Ada compilers o Put stress on high-performance systems o Execute for at least 3000 seconds on a VAX11/780 o Allow memory usage and instruction mix to be measured o Be capable of performing self checking of results Ideal Ada candidates for the SDM series of benchmarks should: o Represent Ada software development scenarios o Be portable across many systems and Ada compilers o Stress system software, particularly the compiler and library o Allow multiple copies to execute at the same time o Not require human input After testing, selected Ada benchmarks will be submitted to SPEC for review and possible inclusion in the next release of the SPEC benchmark suites.
