چکیده
SPEC** recently released SPECpower_ssj2008, the first industry benchmark to measure performance and power of volume server class computers using graduated load levels. In this paper, we present a brief overview and an initial characterization of SPECpower_ssj2008 by measuring the utilization of system resources with the aid of processor monitoring events, at graduated load levels and by comparing the sensitivity of final metric and other related data between various configurations consisting of hardware changes as well as software changes on Intel Xeon processor based servers. Even though this is early data is from a specific platform and operating system, it does validate many expected behaviors and patterns opening exciting new opportunities for researchers to investigate specific areas as well as in-depth characterization as a next step.

متن کاملCharacterization of the EEMBC Benchmark Suite
Benchmark characterization involves re-describing a workload as a set of quantifiable abstract attributes. Designers can then use these measured attributes to determine program similarity. By combining these characteristics with their knowledge of the actual application, designers can select the most relevant benchmarks from the EEMBC suite to test the potential in situ performance of an embedd...
