Perfect Benchmarks
A suite of scientific and engineering programs that are
representative of applications run on high-performance computers has been collected
in a joint effort of several US research and development orgainizations. The
codes are being used for benchmarking computer systems as well as for the
purpose of evaluating new concepts and developments in high-performance computing.
The Perfect Benchmarks codes are available free of charge for non-commercial use. Signing of a licence agreement is necessary.
Official reports of Perfect benchmarking results can be found in CSRD technical reports "Perfect Report 1", "Perfect Report2", and addenda. They can be ordered in hardcopy from librarian@csrd.uiuc.edu.
If you are iterested in obtaining these codes please fill out the
no-cost licence agreement (PostScript
format) (PDF format) and fax it to us
at +1 217 333 3501. Further information is available via
ftp from ftp://ftp.cs.uiuc.edu/pub/research-groups/csrd/oldftp/CSRD_Software/Perfect/version1/codes/. Questions can be directed to
perfect-benchmarks@cs.uiuc.edu.
SPEC High Performance Group
In Spring 1994 the Perfect Benchmarking project and the Standard Performance
Evaluation Corporation have joined efforts and formed the new SPEC High
Performance Group.
A new suite a representative applications for high-performance machines is
available as SPEChpc96. For more information visit the Web page of the SPEC
High-Performance Group
