> David Tayler notes and promotes SPEC from gcc discussion.
I video taped the ISCA'90 workshop on benchmarking in May
(a little over 6 hours of workshop). I specifically asked that
representatives from various efforts get a chance to speak, in
particular SPEC. The nearly unanimious opinion (less the SPEC
rep I was involved in inviting) was that SPEC was less than adequate
for supercomputers.
I only note this as a set of opinions which differs from Dave.
The workshop was organized by John Roberts (NIST), David Bailey, and
myself and included Frank McMahon, Ann Hayes, Dan Reed, and a few other
benchmarking people. I only wish the group as a whole had not come
down so hard on SPEC. Also PERFECT was not brought out and "bashed"
more.
P.S. attendees reading this expecting tapes (yes it takes a while
to get copies made of clusters of 4 (2 HR) tapes.
