CFP92

   <benchmark> A {benchmark} suite from {SPEC} containing 14
   programs performing {floating-point} computations.  12 are
   written in {Fortran} and two in {C}.  They can be used to
   estimate the performance of CPU, memory system, and compiler
   code generation.

   The individual programs are Circuit Design, Simulation (2x),
   Quantum Chemistry (3x), Electromagnetism, Geometric
   Translation, Optics, Robotics, Medical Simulation, Quantum
   Physics, Astrophysics, NASA Kernels.

   The benchmark suite can be used either for speed measurement,
   resulting in {SPEC ratios}, or for throughput measurement,
   resulting in {SPEC rates}
