SPEC CFP92
     
         A {benchmark} suite from {SPEC} containing 14
        programs performing {floating-point} computations.  12 are
        written in {Fortran} and two in {C}.  They can be used to
        estimate the performance of CPU, memory system, and compiler
        code generation.
     
        The individual programs are Circuit Design, Simulation (2x),
        Quantum Chemistry (3x), Electromagnetism, Geometric
        Translation, Optics, Robotics, Medical Simulation, Quantum
        Physics, Astrophysics, NASA Kernels.
     
        The benchmark suite can be used either for speed measurement,
        resulting in {SPEC ratio}s, or for throughput measurement,
        resulting in {SPEC rate}s
