SPEC OMP® 2001 (RETIRED: January 2013)

With the release of the SPEC OMP® 2012 benchmark suite, the SPEC OMP® 2001 benchmark suite has been retired. Benchmark results were accepted until January 16, 2013. After that date, only SPEC OMP® 2012 benchmark result submissions will be accepted. To purchase a copy of the SPEC OMP® 2001 benchmark software, please contact SPEC for assistance.

The SPEC OMP® (OpenMP) benchmark suite is the first one for evaluating performance based on OpenMP (http://www.openmp.org) applications. The benchmark continues the SPEC tradition of giving HPC users the most objective and representative benchmark suite for measuring the performance of SMP (shared memory multi-processor) systems.

The current version is V3.2, which is equivalent to the previous version, 3.1c, but includes clarification on licensing for some of the benchmarks. Licensees of the SPEC OMP® 2001 V3.0 and V3.1 benchmarks are eligible for an upgrade to V3.2; contact the SPEC office with your license number for information on obtaining the upgrade.

Benchmark Suite Highlights

• The benchmarks are adapted from SPEC CPU 2000 benchmark and contributions to its search program.
• The focus is to deliver systems performance to real scientific and engineering applications.
• The size and runtime reflect the needs of engineers and researchers to model large complex tasks.
• Two levels of workload characterize the performance of medium and large sized systems.
• Tools based on the SPEC CPU2000 benchmark toolset make these the easiest ever HPC tests to run.
• These benchmarks place heavy demands on systems and memory.
• Includes the SPECompM® 2001 performance metric and the SPECompL® 2001 performance metric, which are based on compute-intensive, parallel-processing applications provided as source code containing OpenMP directives.
