SPEC VIRT_SC® 2013 benchmark

SPEC.org Submission Requirements	Results must be reviewed and accepted by SPEC prior to public disclosure.
SPEC Metrics	SPECvirt_sc®2013, or SPECvirt_sc®2013_PPW, or SPECvirt_sc®2013_ServerPPW
Required Metrics	SPECvirt_sc®2013, or SPECvirt_sc®2013_PPW, or SPECvirt_sc®2013_ServerPPW 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 SPEC VIRT_SC 2013 benchmark supports three categories of results listed below. Cross category comparisons are disallowed, however a licensee has the option of submitting results from the same test run to multiple categories. Performance-only, which produces the SPECvirt_sc®2013 metric, Performance/Power of the Total System Under Test, which produces the SPECvirt_sc®2013_PPW metric, and Performance/Power of the Server only, which produces the SPECvirt_sc®2013_ServerPPW metric The SPEC VIRT_SC 2013 benchmark uses modified versions of SPECweb 2005, SPECjAppServer 2004, SPECmail 2008 and CINT2006 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 server consolidation environments. As such, the modifications are significant enough that comparisons between the original benchmarks and the versions used in the SPEC VIRT_SC 2013 benchmark are not allowed.

(Retired) SPEC VIRT_SC® 2010 benchmark

RETIRED	The SPEC VIRT_SC® 2010 benchmark was retired on February 26, 2014 in favor of its successor, the SPEC VIRT_SC® 2013 benchmark. All public use of results for this benchmark must plainly disclose that the benchmark has been retired, as described above. No further submissions will be accepted for publication at www.spec.org SPEC is no longer reviewing results for this benchmark. Independent publication of new results is not allowed (because the benchmark results required review by SPEC before publication)
