Analyzing the Processor Bottlenecks in SPEC CPU 2000
نویسندگان
چکیده
The performance of a processor is limited by the specific bottlenecks that a benchmark exposes while running on that processor. Since the quantification of these bottlenecks can be extremely time-consuming, our prior work proposed using the Plackett and Burman design as a statistically-rigorous, but timeefficient method of determining the processor’s most significant performance bottlenecks. In this paper, we use the Plackett and Burman design to quantify the magnitude of the bottlenecks in the SPEC CPU 2000 benchmark suite from the viewpoints of both performance and energy consumption. We then use Principal Components Analysis, and hierarchical and K-means clustering algorithms to determine the similarity of the benchmarks based on their energydelay production bottlenecks.

متن کاملPerformance Characterization of SPEC CPU Benchmarks on Intel's Core Microarchitecture based processor
The newly released CPU2006 benchmarks are long and have large data access footprint. In this paper we study the behavior of CPU2006 benchmarks on the newly released Intel's Woodcrest processor based on the Core microarchitecture. CPU2000 benchmarks, the predecessors of CPU2006 benchmarks, are also characterized to see if they both stress the system in the same way. Specifically, we compare the ...
