SPEC CFP92

benchmark A benchmark suite from SPEC containing 14

programs performing floating-point computations. 12 are

written in Fortran and two in C. They can be used to

estimate the performance of CPU, memory system, and compiler

code generation.

The individual programs are Circuit Design, Simulation (2x),

Quantum Chemistry (3x), Electromagnetism, Geometric

Translation, Optics, Robotics, Medical Simulation, Quantum

Physics, Astrophysics, NASA Kernels.

The benchmark suite can be used either for speed measurement,

resulting in SPEC ratios, or for throughput measurement,

resulting in SPEC rates
