SGI Power Challenge Array
SPECseis96_SM

The SPECseis96_SM benchmark was run by Purdue University (SPEC license #HA-7) in West Lafayette, Indiana on a Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI) Power Challenge Array at NCSA, University of Illinois on 26-Mar-1997. This code was run using the message programming model.

* The SPECseis96_SM metric is 86400/elapased seconds.

Source code base was SPEChpc96.001.
