SPECvirt® Datacenter 2021 benchmark

SPEC.org Submission Requirements	Results must be reviewed and accepted by SPEC prior to public disclosure.
SPEC Metrics	SPECvirt®_Datacenter-2021
Required Metrics	SPECvirt®_Datacenter-2021 The required metric must be listed in close proximity to any other measured data from the disclosure or any derived value.
Conditionally Required Metrics
Use of Estimates	Not allowed
Disallowed Comparisons	In addition to the requirements that results not be compared to other benchmarks: The SPECvirt Datacenter 2021 benchmark uses modified versions of HammerDB and BigBench for its virtualized workloads, as these are established industry-standard workloads. These workloads have been modified to focus on stressing particular aspects of the SUT's resources (CPU, memory, network, disk) typical of virtual datacenter environments. As such, the modifications are significant enough that comparisons between the original benchmarks and the versions used in the SPECvirt Datacenter 2021 benchmark are not allowed.
