Abstract
SPEC CPU2000 is an widely used benchmark program, both in industry and in academy, for measuring compute-intensive performance of computer systems with various architectures. However, there has been little effort to investigate its characteristics with respect to hardware components. This paper presents the performance scalability of SPEC CPU2000 benchmark over CPU clock speed. For an Intel x86-based system running at various clock speed, we measure the performance of SPEC CPU2000 benchmark, and analyze the characteristic of SPEC CPU2000 in a system aspect. In the experiment, we found that the overall performance of SPEC CPU2000 increases monotonically and linearly as the CPU clock speed increases and that the scale efficiencies of SPEC CPU2000 component benchmarks are quite evenly distributed.
