  SPECmark
       
           The average of a set of {floating-point} and
          integer {SPEC} {benchmark} results.
       
          While the old average {SPECmark89} has been popular with the


          industry and the press, {SPEC} has intentionally *not* defined
          an average "SPECmark92" over all {CPU} {benchmark}s of the
          1992 suites ({CINT92} and {CFP92}), for the following reasons:
          With 6 integer ({CINT92}) and 14 {floating-point} ({CFP92})
          benchmarks, the average would be biased too much toward
          floating-point.  Customers' workloads are different, some
          integer-only, some floating-point intensive, some mixed.
          Current processors have developed their strengths in a more
          diverse way (some more emphasizing integer performance, some
          more floating-point performance) than in 1989.
       
          Some SPECmark results are available {here
          (ftp://ftp.cdf.toronto.edu/pub/spectable)}.
       
          See also {SPECint92}, {SPECfp92}, {SPECrate_int92},
          {SPECrate_fp92}.
