Dan, <let me offer a quick reminder that SPECint_2000 and SPECfp_2000 are designed to benchmark single processor systems while SPECint_rate2000 and SPECfp_rate2000 are designed to benchmark multiprocessor configurations.> Dan, no need to be so official:) Let me correct you on the "rate" and "non-rate" definitions: spec.org "Q12: What is the difference between a "rate" and a "non-rate" metric? A12: There are several different ways to measure computer performance. One way is to measure how fast the computer completes a single task; this is a speed measure. Another way is to measure how many tasks a computer can accomplish in a certain amount of time; this is called a throughput, capacity or rate measure." Please note that it does not specifically mention whether the computer is single or multiprocessor. Now let me reiterate the question: in the link below, there are Alphas, HPs, Suns and SGI multiprocessor computers that were benchmarked with 1,2,4,8,etc processor configuration. Although there are multiprocessor P-III and Xeons, there is not a single SPECfp score reported in the SPEC publications. spec.org The question is why it is so. Regards, - Ali
