Floating-Point SPECrate

   <benchmark> A {benchmark} result derived from the results of a
   set of {floating-point} benchmarks (the {geometric mean} of 14
   {SPEC rates} 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.
