Overview

• SPEC CPU 2017 is not intended to stress other computer componeents such as networking, graphics, Java libraries, or the I/O system. Note that there are other SPEC benchmarks that focus on those areas.
• Most of the benchmark programs are drawn from actual end-user applications, as opposed to being synthetic benchmarks.
• benchmark suite
• category: speed/rate; inter/fp; base/peak

Run Command Examples

runcpu -c tryi 603 --tuning peak --iterations 1 --loose --threads 8 --size train

• --size: ref(default) test,train,ref
• --action: run(default) build
• --tuning: base(default), peak
• --iterations: 2(default), affect by reportable
• --loose examples

• speed: allow openmp; allow --threads
• rate/throughput: openmp/auto para disabled; allow --copies

Known issues from my trial

• Visual Studio which is prior than VS2022, need to install latest WinSDK, or it cannot find header.
• Need to download Intel compiler to build, because fortran is Not supported in VS.
• Intel compiler has been integrated from XE studio to OneAPI.
• Need to use new compiler command since classic compiler command is not supported after 2013
• Example config need to be changed according to ICC logs.

prepare

install visual studio and install win11 sdk.

install

1. create a folder as the install dir.
2. attach iso file && start a cmd terminal in that folder
3. install.bat c:\cpu2017

set compiler

1. edit shrc.bat

set SHRC_COMPILER_PATH_SET=yes
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat"

2. run shrc.bat in terminal

config

1. copy Example-VisualStudio.cfg to try.cfg
2. edit in try.cfg % define VSVERSION 2019 # the runcpu command line. Use a four

run

runcpu -c try.cfg --action build 508.namd_r
runcpu -c try.cfg --size test --iterations 1 -noreportable fprate
runcpu --config=try --reportable --copies=10 fprate

linux

Reference:www.spec.org/cpu2017/Doc…

install

mount cpu2017-1.1.8.iso mount_point/
./install.sh -d /home/gy/cpu2017
source shrc

config

set correct gcc dir in ubuntu

define  gcc_dir        "/usr"  # EDIT (see above)
