Re: [Lbs-tech] free spec benchmark?

[Hiro Y. <hyo...@mi...>]

Bill,

Thanks for your help.

SPEC benchmarks are not free.
http://www.spec.org/cgi-bin/osgorder

They are inexpensive.

I'd like to run SPEC CPU95 (It is an obsolete benchmark.)
Because there are a lot of detailed results published, for example,
research papers. What I'd like to do is, 1) to compare the
published results with running on the linux kernel. 2) to measure
the detail behavior of the kernel, e.g., CPI, cache miss,
memory traffics, TLB miss, and so on. 3) to exchange benchmark
results with the linux community.

My concern is the linux community may not have
the SPEC benchmarks. If so, exchanging the benchmark
results might be difficult.

I think the motivation of development of OSDL-DBT is
very similar.

Doesn't it make sence to have open source CPU benchmark suits?

Regards,
  Hiro
