Do SPEC HPC2002 benchmarks measure speed or throughput?

Both. SPEC HPC2002 benchmarks measure the time it takes to run an application on the system being tested — that’s a test of speed. The SPEC HPC2002 metric also normalizes the benchmark’s elapsed time to the number of seconds in a day. So, the benchmarks also measure throughput, since the metric reports how many benchmarks could be run, back to back, in a given 24-hour period.
