Can SPEC MPI2007 results be published outside of the SPEC web site? Do the rules still apply?
Yes, SPEC MPI2007 results can be freely published if all the run and reporting rules have been followed. The MPI2007 license agreement binds every purchaser of the suite to the run and reporting rules if results are quoted in public. A full disclosure of the details of a performance measurement must be provided on request. SPEC strongly encourages that results be submitted for publication on SPEC’s web site, since it ensures a peer review process and uniform presentation of all results. The run and reporting rules for research and and academic contexts recognize that it may not be practical to comply with the full set of rules in some contexts. It is always required, however, that non-compliant results must be clearly distinguished from rule-compliant results.
