随着计算机和软件变得越来越强大，想要一个你能负担得起的最大、最快的玩具似乎几乎是人类的天性。但是你怎么知道你的玩具是不是最好的呢？即使您的应用程序从不执行任何I/O，也不仅仅是CPU的速度决定了性能。高速缓存、主存和编译器也起着一定的作用。软件应用程序也有不同的性能要求。你相信谁能提供这些信息？标准性能评估公司（SPEC）是一个非盈利性的联盟，其成员包括硬件供应商、软件供应商、大学、客户和顾问。SPEC的使命是为多个操作系统和环境开发技术上可靠和客观的组件级和系统级基准测试，包括高性能数字计算、Web服务器和图形子系统。它的替代品是CPU 2000，这是一个新的CPU基准套件，包含19个以前从未在SPEC CPU套件中出现过的应用程序。本文将讨论SPEC如何开发这个基准测试套件以及基准测试的作用。
As computers and software have become more powerful, it seems almost human nature to want the biggest and fastest toy you can afford. But how do you know if your toy is tops? Even if your application never does any I/O, it's not just the speed of the CPU that dictates performance. Cache, main memory, and compilers also play a role. Software applications also have differing performance requirements. So whom do you trust to provide this information?The standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) is a nonprofit consortium whose members include hardware vendors, software vendors, universities, customers, and consultants. SPEC's mission is to develop technically credible and objective component- and system-level benchmarks for multiple operating systems and environments, including high-performance numeric computing, Web servers, and graphical subsystems.On 30 June 2000, SPEC retired the CPU95 benchmark suite. Its replacement is CPU2000, a new CPU benchmark suite with 19 applications that have never before been in a SPEC CPU suite. This article discusses how SPEC developed this benchmark suite and what the benchmarks do.
