AIX Version 4 was used with each of these benchmarks. IBM C Set++ for AIX
Version 3.1.2 and AIX XL FORTRAN Version 3.2.2 are the compilers used in these
tests. The preprocessors used in the tests include KAP 2.5. for FORTRAN and
KAP/C 1.4.2 from Kuck & Associates, VAST-2X.03h28 from Pacific Sierra
Research. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors.

SPECint95

: Result is the geometric mean of eight tests that comprise the

CINT95 benchmark suite. All of these are written in C language.

SPECint_base95

: It is the result of the same tests in CINT95 with a maximum of

four compilers flags that must be used in all eight tests.

SPECint_base_rate95

: Geometric average of the eight SPEC rates from the

SPEC integer tests (CINT95) with the restrictive compiler options.

SPECfp95

: Result is the geometric mean of ten tests that comprise the CFP95

benchmark suite. All of these are written in FORTRAN language.

SPECfp_base95

: It is the result of the same tests in CFP95 with a maximum of

four compilers flags that must be used in all ten tests.

SPECfp_base_rate95

: Geometric average of the eight SPEC rates from the

SPEC floating-point tests (CFP95) with the restrictive compiler options.

LINPACK DP

: Double precision, n=100 results with AIX XL FORTRAN compiler

with optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS)

LINPACK TPP

: Toward Peak Performance, n=1000 results with AIX XL

FORTRAN compiler with optimization. Units are megaflops (MFLOPS)

tpm

reflects IBM's estimate of complex commercial transactions per minute.
