[Updates] [Tools] [Benchmarks] [Open Source] |
SPEC CPU 2017 may be updated from time to time. To update your copy, use runcpu --update.
History:
| Getting Started | |
|---|---|
| Quick Start | A one-pager to get you started quickly. |
| Overview/What's New | Overview of the suite and the process, including Why this benchmark? What are the metrics? How does CPU 2017 differ from previous suites? |
| System Requirements | Hardware and software needed to use SPEC CPU 2017. |
| Installing on Unix Installing on Windows |
Installation guides. The "Unix" guide applies to AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and similar systems. The Windows guide is for Microsoft Windows systems. |
| Basic Use | |
| Using SPEC CPU 2017 (runcpu) |
The runcpu command is the primary user interface for running SPEC CPU 2017 benchmarks and reporting results. Everyone using the suite will need this document. |
| SPEC CPU 2017 Run and Reporting Rules |
The rules must be studied carefully prior to submitting results to SPEC for publication, and prior to quoting results in public. Caution: the rules may be updated. Published result must comply with the current version at www.spec.org/cpu2017/Docs/runrules.html. |
| Customizing Your Testing | |
| Config Files | SPEC CPU 2017 provides benchmarks in source code form. A "config file" specifies how to compile them and controls many aspects of how they are run. If you are a new user, you will probably start with an existing config file, such as one downloaded from www.spec.org/cpu2017. |
| Flag Description Files | When the benchmarks are compiled, compilation flags (such as -O2
or -unroll) are detected and automatically reported. Flag description files help the
tools recognize flags and report on them. Your compiler vendor may supply a flag description file for you,
which you can reference via the config file flagsurl field.
|
| Advanced Topics | |
| Make Variables | To understand exactly how the benchmarks are built, use this document to help you decipher the process. |
| Monitoring Facility | Information about monitoring hooks. |
| Utilities | How to use specinvoke, specdiff, specmake and other utilities. Also, manpages are available for FILEPP (specpp) and RXP (specrxp). |
| Avoiding runcpu | Although runcpu automates many benchmarking tasks, sometimes you may prefer to work "by hand", perhaps because you want to modify a benchmark, collect traces for a simulator, or debug an experimental compiler. This document describes how to minimize use of SPEC's toolset. |
| Trouble | |
| FAQ | Frequently asked technical questions |
| Known Problems | Known problems and errata information. |
| Technical Support | Information on SPEC technical support. |
| Building the Toolset | How to build (or re-build) the tools (Hint: you probably don't need to.) |
| Miscellany | |
| Credits | Information about the contributors to SPEC CPU 2017. |
