How
to Submit Results from Outside Organizations
Below are guidelines for submitting results from organizations
outside of SPEC/GWPG.
- 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/GWPG
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.
SPECgpc benchmarks
Directory structure:
../Company/SystemName/subtest
Submission file name:
The submission file names must contain "gpc_v" for
SPECviewperf, contain all lowercase letters, and
not contain '.' except prior to the zip or tar file
extension (e.g. company_gpc_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 SPECgpc
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
GWPG News schedule. To obtain the GWPG 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).
