SPECrate_fp92
     
         A {benchmark} result derived from the results of a
        set of {floating-point} benchmarks (the {geometric mean} of 14
        {SPEC rate}s from {CFP92}) run multiple times simultaneously,
        which can be used to estimate a machine's overall
        {multi-tasking} throughput for {floating-point} code.  It is
        typically used on {multiprocessor} machines.
     
        SPECrate_fp92 obsoletes SPECfpThruput89.
