Re: How about reading the SPEC web pages?

SPEC is meaningless. SPEC requires algorithms with known easily fixed flaws to be used unless you substitute another algorithm under the guise of a compiler optimization.

Which makes that SPEC suite a test of whose compiler can best spot and substitute out the known "booby traps" in the SPEC code rather than a measure of processor or system performnace.
