SPEC CPU®2026 Integer Rate Result
Copyright 2026 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation
The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit'
was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor.
For details, please see the config file.
Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited"
Environment variables set by runcpu before the start of the run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/root/cpu2026-0.902.0/lib"
MALLOC_CONF = "retain:true"
Binaries compiled on a system with 2x Intel Xeon Platinum 8280M CPU + 384GB RAM
memory using CentOS Stream 9.
Transparent Huge Pages enabled by default
Prior to runcpu invocation
Filesystem page cache synced and cleared with:
sync; echo 3> /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
runcpu command invoked through numactl i.e.:
numactl --interleave=all runcpu <etc>
