Are different-sized datasets available for the two SPEC HPC2002 applications?
Yes. Vendors may report SPEC HPC2002 results based on any of two predefined problem sizes: small and medium. Problem sizes depend on the application and the type of analysis the application performs. For SPECseis, problem sizes relate directly to the number and size of seismic traces being processed. For SPECchem, problem sizes relate to the complexity of the molecule under analysis. For SPECenv the problems represent …. The different problem sizes within SPEC HPC2002 give the application users more information about machine performance as it relates to the type of computational work they do.
