SPEC CPU2017 is a suite of benchmark applications designed to test the CPU performance.
The first being CINT (aka SPECint) which is for evaluating the CPU performance in integer operations.
The second set is CFP (aka SPECfp) which is for evaluating the CPU floating-point operations performance.
The geometric mean of all the benchmark suite application ratios is then computed as the SPECfp score.
[1] The SPECfp2017 test is organized in 2 suites: SPECrate 2017 Floating Point and SPECspeed 2017 Floating Point containing in total 23 benchmark programs, designed to evaluate the floating-point operations performance of a given system.
The SPECfp2006 test suite contains 17 benchmark programs, designed to evaluate the floating-point operations performance of a given system.
[9] With the release of this suite, the Baseline rule was introduced; in which vendors are no longer allowed to optimize the compilation of the code without reporting it.
