How
to Submit Results from Outside Organizations
Below are guidelines for submitting results from organizations
outside of SPEC/GPC.
- Review the schedule of submission
and publication dates to find the deadlines for each result
submission cycle.
- Contact the SPEC Office (tel. 1-540-349-7878 or gpcinfo@spec.org)
to inform us that your company is interested in submitting results.
SPEC will provide you with an FTP password and server location
in order to submit your result(s). Your company's result(s)
will remain on the SPEC/GPC web site for a period of up to one
year, depending on which submission
season ticket you purchase. All submissions must follow
the run rules of the benchmark suite for which results are being
submitted.
- Each data file submitted must use the following directory
structure and naming schemes. If no data is being submitted
for a particular benchmark, then the associated directory does
not have to be present.
SPECapc benchmarks
Directory structure:
../Company/SystemName/benchmark/
Submission file name:
company_benchmark_vN.zip or company_benchmark_vN.tar.z,
where "company" is the organization name in lower
case, "benchmark" is the name of the specific benchmark,
and "vN" is the file version (e.g. sgi_apc_proe2000i2_v0.tar.z
and company_apc_proe2000i2_v0.zip). The initial submission
is v0. See the SPECapc
Run and Reporting Rules for additional benchmark-specific
information.
SPECopc benchmarks
Directory structure:
../Company/SystemName/subtest
Submission file name:
The submission file names must contain "opc_v" for
SPECviewperf, contain all lowercase letters, and not contain
'.' except prior to the zip or tar file extension (e.g. company_opc_v71_jun03_v0.zip).
The file version is denoted prior to the file extension. The
initial file version is v0. Resubmitted files must incrementally
increase the version number. See the SPECopc
Run and Reporting Rules for additional information.
For all submissions, there are no spelling or letter case requirements
for the data and summary data files. To insure that data is
sorted correctly when listed by vendor, you must capitalize
the first letter of the directory name that represents your
company name.
- Use a date format of mm/yy (e.g. 06/01) in your data files.
- Any corrections or changes that need to be made to an organization's
submissions must be resubmitted in time to meet the deadline
established for the GPC News schedule. To obtain the GPC News
publishing schedule, contact the SPEC Office at gpcinfo@spec.org.
Minor editorial changes to a result under review (i.e. correcting
spelling errors, etc.) can be made by sending a request to editor@spec.org.
Major changes, such as changes to pricing information for example,
should be handled via resubmission as described in the benchmark
run rules.
If you have any questions about the submission process, please
contact the SPEC Office (gpcinfo@spec.org).
