The new CPU benchmark from the Standard Performance Evaluation
Corporation is announced
http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/
Readers of comp.arch and comp.benchmarks may
recall that I posted a call for benchmark candidates
a few years ago. Thank you to those who responded.
There were many contributions of real applications,
as well as a variety of freely-available programs,
that were included (see "credits.html" at the URL
above).
The new benchmark is a challenge to compilers: mostly
new code, derived from real applications, and over
3 million lines of code. Nevertheless, a wide variety of
compilers have been used to produce initial results.
