How long does it take to run the SPEC MPI2007 benchmark suites on their reference platforms?
For the medium benchmark suite, the original reference cluster took about 1 hour to build the base versions of the executables and 12 hours to finish a single iteration of mref workload. So a minimally rule-conforming run would take 24 hours (for 2 iterations) and the more common 3 iteration run would take 36 hours. A more modern cluster was used to calibrate the large benchmark suite; it took about 30 minutes to build the base versions of the executables and 12 hours to finish a single iteration of the lref workload. So a minimally rule-conforming run would take 24 hours (for 2 iterations) and the more common 3 iteration run would take 36 hours. See the question above for details of the two reference clusters.
