Floating-point throughput performance using SPECfp*_rate_base2006 benchmark

 

In functional IT environments, the goal is to enhance experimentation and increase precision while keeping the total cost of ownership (TCO) down to move company R&D forward. The next generation Intel Xeon processor E7-2800 product family with the large memory and I/O capacity plus high memory bandwidth is the better choice for technical compute workloads.

Floating-point throughput performance using SPECfp*_rate_base2006 benchmark

Benchmark description for SPECfp*_rate_base2006

SPEC CPU2006* is a benchmark to measure system efficiency during integer and floating point operations. It consists of an integer test suite containing 12 applications and a floating point test suite containing 17 applications which are extremely computing-intensive and concentrate on the CPU and memory. Other components, such as disk I/O and network, are not measured by this benchmark. SPEC CPU2006 contains two different methods of performance measurement: The first method "SPEED" determines the time required to complete a single task. The second method "rate" determines the throughput, i.e. how many tasks can be completed in parallel. Both methods are additionally subdivided into two measuring runs, "base" and "peak", which differ in the way the compiler optimization is used. The "base" values are always used when results are published; the "peak" values are optional. The chart above shows "base" floating-point throughput performance as measured by SPECfp_rate_base2006.
