Abstract
SPEC CPU2006 is a compute-intensive industry standard benchmark suite published in August 2006. This paper characterizes the memory access behavior of SPEC CPU2006 running on IBM POWER5+ microprocessors. We measure the maximum and average memory usage of the benchmarks to validate SPEC's memory requirement criteria. This paper also analyzes how different page sizes affect the performance of the benchmarks. The experiment reveals that 64 KB and 16 MB pages improve the performance up to 46.9% and 50.9%, respectively.
