Copy over the files

Copy over the spec2k6 files from the shared directory : software/hpc/benchmarks/SPEC2006_v11.tar.bz2

NOTE Place all files in the same directory

32 bit libs

Make sure you have the 32bit libs installed! E.g. on rhel62

yum install glibc-devel-2.12-1.47.el6.i686

Download the HEPSPEC configuration file

# check https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/FIOgroup/TsiBenchHEPSPEC for the latest version
wget --no-check-certificate https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/pub/FIOgroup/TsiBenchHEPSPEC/spec2k6-2.14.tar.gz

Extract the spec config files

david@cal1:~/scratch/hepspec$ tar zxvf spec2k6-2.14.tar.gz  
linux32-gcc_cern.cfg
linux64-gcc_cern.cfg
README.TXT
runspec.sh
simple.sh

Edit the runspec.sh file

NOTE Make sure this is done or results get sent to cern (if email is configured on the server)

# vi runspec.sh
EMAIL="hpc@boston.co.uk"
RESULTDIR="/home/david/scratch/hepspec/results-spec"

Run HEPSPEC

./runspec.sh -d "Benchmark HEPSPEC2006 32bit" -a 32 -b all_cpp

NOTE Extracting the tar.bz2 files takes some time. If the build fails after the archive is extracted,remove the following line from runspec (around line 75) and rerun the build

tar xjf $SPECTARBALL || fail "Unable to extract SPECint!"

Results
