The SPEChpc 2021 suite includes a broad swath of science and engineering codes that are representative (and portable ) across much of what we see in HPC.

  • A tested set of benchmarks with performance measurement and validation built into the test harness.
  • Benchmarks include full and mini applications covering a wide range of scientific domains and Fortran/C/C++ programming languages.
  • Comprehensive support for multiple programming models, including MPI, MPI+OpenACC, MPI+OpenMP, and MPI+OpenMP with target offload.
  • Support for most major compilers, MPI libraries, and different flavors of Linux operating systems.
  • Four suites, Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large, with increasing workload sizes, allows for appropriate evaluation of different sized HPC systems, ranging from a single node to many thousands of nodes

The SPEChpc 2021 Benchmark Suites are available for immediate download under a two-tiered pricing structure: free for non-profit and educational organizations and $2,500 for sellers of computer-related products and services. SPEC HPG members receive benchmark licenses as a membership benefit.
