* SPEC2006 Benchmarking Scripts              *

linux32-gcc_cern.cfg is the configuration file for 32-bit binaries on a 64-bit 
SL4 system. As you can imagine, linux64-gcc_cern.cfg is the one that produces 
64-bit binaries.

The simplest script is simple.sh: all it does is build all the binaries and 
then runs 1 SPEC per core. To use it, install SPEC2006 as you normally would, 
copy one of the two configuration files as $SPECDIR/config/cern.cfg, copy this 
script to $SPECDIR, run and enjoy.

runspec.sh is the script I use for benchmarking machines and putting together 
the results in a nice email. In order to use it, you need to have a tar file 
called SPEC2006_v11.tar.bz2. This tar should contain a directory called 
SPEC2006_v11 with the contents of the SPEC CPU2006 1.1 DVD. You should have this
tarball, as well as the configuration files, in the same directory as the script.

When you have everything in place, you can use the script like this:

./runspec.sh -a 32 -d "Test 1" -e jimbo.jones@cern.ch
./runspec.sh -a 64 -r -d "Test 2, SPEC rate on 64bits"

... etc. (use -h to see all the options)

I recommend you change the default options in the beginning of the script so you
can copy the results to a useful directory for you, and so that I don't get your
results by email. :)

Questions, bug reports and improvements are welcomed.
