Note: links to SPEC OMP2012 documents on this web page assume that you are reading the page from a directory that also contains the other SPEC OMP2012 documents. If by some chance you are reading this web page from a location where the links do not work, try accessing the referenced documents at one of the following locations:
The SPEC OMP2012 suite has been tested under Unix and Linux. It has not been tested on Mac OS X and Windows systems. Because of shared tools with SPEC CPU benchmarks, it should be possible to install the benchmark on Mac OS X and Windows systems. Your DVD can be installed under many operating systems.
Reminder: the SPEC license allows you to install on multiple systems as you may wish within your institution; but you may not share the software with the public.
This document covers the installation procedure for SPEC OMP2012 under Microsoft Windows. Many of the benchmarks require than 4 GB of memory, so you need to use an operating system which allows more than 32-bits of address space.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, refererences to "Windows" in this document apply to Windows XP or later.
This section describes the installing OMP2012 under Microsoft Windows step-by-step. The steps are described in some detail here, with brief examples. A longer example, from a complete installation, is in the next section.
Review the hardware and software requirements, in system-requirements.html
In particular, please notice in the requirements document that SPEC does not recommend installation under Windows/Unix compatibility environments. SPEC recommends that such products be removed from your path.
The steps that follow assume that your DVD drive is on the same system as where you wish to install. If it is on a different system, please see Appendix 1.
Open a Command Prompt window (formerly known as an "MSDOS Window"). Typically, this is done by
selecting:
Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->Command Prompt.
Adjust the properties to allow you to see plenty of lines scrolled off the top (for example, 9000). Click the upper left corner of the Command Prompt window, scroll down to "Properties", click the "Layout" tab, and in the section labeled "Screen Buffer Size" enter a new value for "Height".
Decide where you want to install the OMP2012 suite. You should make sure that your chosen destination disk has at least 8GB free. (For more information on disk usage, see system-requirements.html.) For the following examples, we will assume that your destination is on drive C:, in the directory \omp2012.
Please make sure that there are no spaces in the path. Installing to a location that includes a directory or subdirectory named something like "My Benchmarks" is asking for trouble. Even if you make it through the installation, there may be other programs from SPEC (or from your compiler) that expect space to be an argument delimiter, not part of a path name, and which therefore fail with odd and hard to understand error messges.
If you haven't already done so, insert the DVD, and observe where it is mounted. (For example, on Windows 7, if you press Start -> Computer, a window comes up that includes "Devices with Removable Storage", where you can see the assigned drive letter.) Change your directory to the DVD. For the following examples, we'll assume that your DVD is mounted on drive D:, so entering just the letter and a colon gets us to that drive:
C:\> D: D:\>
You're now ready to run the installer. The format for this command is
install.bat destination_drive:\destination_directory
For example, if your DVD is in drive D:, and you want to install OMP2012 on drive C: in a folder named omp2012, you could type:
D:\> install.bat C:\omp2012
You should see a message similar to the following:
D:\>install.bat c:\omp2012 Installing FROM source: D:\ If the source is NOT correct, hit Control-C and run install.bat from the correct benchmark tree. Press any key to continue . . .
If you see a message similar to the above, just press return. If you see error messages, check to be sure that you are in the correct directory and that %temp% is defined (see below).
Next, the install procedure will ask you to confirm the destination folder.
You should see a message similar to the following:
Installing TO destination: "c:\omp2012" If the destination is NOT correct, hit Control-C and specify the desired installation path as a parameter. For example: D:\install.bat D:\SPEC\omp2012 Press any key to continue . . .
If you see a message similar to the above, just press return, and the installation begins.
As it proceeds, the install procedure will inform you that the benchmarks are being unpacked. Please be patient - although only a few messages are printed, thousands of files are installed:
Installing from "D:\"
Installing to "c:\omp2012\"
Depending on the speed of the drive holding your installation media
and the speed of your destination disk, this may take more than 5 minutes.
Please be patient.

. (lines omitted)
.
Testing the tools installation (this may take a minute)
Runspec tests completed successfully!
Installation completed!
c:\omp2012>
The installation will consume around 1.5GB on your destination disk.
After this step completes, you will find yourself in the destination directory that you selected.
Read the comments in the file
shrc.bat
and make the appropriate edits for your compiler paths.
Caution: you may find that the lines are not correctly formatted (the text appears to be all run together) when you edit this file. If so, see the section below: About Text Files and Windows/Unix Compatibility.
You will have to uncomment one of two lines:
rem set SHRC_PRECOMPILED=yes
or
rem set SHRC_COMPILER_PATH_SET=yes
by removing "rem" from the beginning of the desired line.
If you uncomment the first line, you must have pre-compiled binaries for the benchmarks
If you uncomment the second line, you will have to follow the instructions (a few lines below further along in shrc.bat) to set up the environment for your compiler, either (A) by calling a vendor-supplied batch setup file or (B) by entering the path yourself:
It is usually better to call a vendor-supplied batch setup file, because the file may set additional needed variables, such as INCLUDE and LIB. Examples of vendor files, such as iclvars, vcvars, and vsvars, are in the comments within shrc.bat. Do not assume that any of those examples will work on your system: you need to check first. The names and locations of these files change from compiler to compiler, from version to version, and even from system to system (if you choose a non-default installation directory).
If you enter a path directly:
No matter how your path gets set, in general it is a good idea to understand what is in your path, and that you have only what you truly need. If you have non-standard versions of commonly used utilities in your path, you may avoid unpleasant surprises by taking them out. By default, shrc.bat will print the path after it is done. If you would prefer that it not do so, you can set SHRC_QUIET=yes in your environment.
Set the environment, using your edited shrc. For example:
C:\omp2012> shrc.bat
SPEC benchmarks are supplied as source code. They need to be compiled, under the control of a "config file". Example config files can be found in %SPEC%\config. For an introduction to config files, see "About Config Files" in runspec.html.
For example, on a Windows system with the Intel C++ compiler installed, a user might do something similar to the following:
C:\omp2012> cd %SPEC%\config
C:\omp2012> copy Example-windows-x64-icl.cfg mine.cfg
Although an Example config file on the kit can help you get started, you still need to look at it and understand at least the basics of what it is doing for you. The following paragraphs walk through using the above config file on a particular System Under Test (SUT). Your SUT will probably differ, but a similar config file analysis will be useful.
This example config file says at the top:
# Operating system version: Windows 7 (64-bit) # Compiler name/version: Intel Compiler 12 , MS VS 2008 # Other software: SmartHeap library
The user notices that the example SUT has only two of the four software items mentioned above:
Now that you have edited your config file, try building a benchmark:
C:\omp2012> runspec --action=build --tune=base ^
More? --config=mine.cfg 350.md
(In the examples, "^" (often called "hat" or "carat") indicates line continuation.)
The --tune=base indicates that we want to use only the simple tuning, if the config file contains more than one kind of tuning.
Test that you can run a benchmark, using the minimal input set - the "test" workload.
C:\omp2012> runspec --size=test --iterations=1 --noreportable ^
More? --tune=base --config=mine.cfg 350.md
The --noreportable ensures that the tools will allow us to run just a single benchmark instead of the whole suite.
Test that you can run a benchmark using the real input set - the "reference" workload. For example:
C:\omp2012> runspec --size=ref --iterations=1 --noreportable ^
More? --tune=base --config=mine.cfg 350.md
If everything has worked up to this point, you may wish to start a full run, perhaps leaving your computer to run overnight. The extended test will demand significant resources from your machine, including computational power and memory of several types. In order to avoid surprises, before starting the reportable run, you should review the section About Resources, in system-requirements.html.
To run a reportable test with simple (baseline) tuning:
C:\omp2012> runspec --tune=base --threads=12 --config=mine.cfg gross
Please have a look at runspec.html to learn more about using runspec.
Here is a complete SPEC OMP2012 Windows installation, with commentary. We assume that Steps 1 through 4 are already done: pre-requisites have been reviewed, a command window is open, we have enough space, and the DVD is mounted - this time, on drive F:.

Step 6: Edit shrc.bat. This was done in with notepad, which is not shown, but the fc command is used below to compare the original shrc.bat to our modified copy:
C:\omp2012> copy shrc.bat shrc.bat.orig

Step 7: Use shrc to set the environment

Step 8. Modify a config file. Below, the tester has made similar edits to the ones described above, with the addition that the line ext = has been modified. The ext line tags the binary with an extension. If you change this line when you change tuning, you can keep multiple binaries around, perhaps to compare them and analyze them.

Step 9. Use runspec to build one benchmark:
C:\omp2012\config> runspec --action=build --tune=base --config=jul13a 350.md runspec v6624 - Copyright 1999-2012 Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation Using 'windows-i386 ' tools Reading MANIFEST... 22353 files Loading runspec modules................

At this point, we have demonstrated basic correct installation of both the benchmark and the compiler, by verifying that a benchmark can be compiled under the control of runspec.
Step 10. Now try running that benchmark, using the minimal test workload. The test workload runs in a tiny amount of time and does a minimal verification that the benchmark executable can at least start up:
C:\omp2012\config> runspec --size=test --iterations=1 --threads=12 --loose --tune=base --config=jul13a 350.md

Notice about 19 lines up where it says "Success: 1x350.md". That is what we want to see.
Step 11. Let's try running 350.md with the real ("ref") workload. This is going to take a while.

Tested with SPEC OMP2012 v22.
Report generated on Wed Sep 12 17:00:19 2012 by OMP2012 ASCII formatter v1722.
C:\omp2012\result>
Done. The suite is installed, and we can run at least one benchmark for real.
If the title of this section describes your situation, you basically have two choices.
You might be able to mount the DVD on one system and use network services to make it available on other systems.
Please note that the SPEC OMP2012 license agreement does not allow you to post the DVD on any public server. If your institution has a SPEC OMP2012 license, then it's fine to post it on an internal server that is accessible only to members of your institution.
Whether you attempt a network mount will probably depend on:
If your network environment allows easy cross-system mounting, you can use a network mount for the installation. Otherwise, you can fall back on the tar file.
Note: if you insert the DVD on a system running Unix or Linux, you may need to share it using nfs commands. This Windows installation guide does not attempt to give hints about how to do Unix nfs commands, although you will find some hints in the corresponding appendix of install-guide-unix.html. Instead, let's assume that you are using two Windows systems. System A is a Windows system with a DVD drive; System B is a Windows system where you would like to do the installation.
To do the installation:
At System A, insert the DVD.
Then, bring up a Windows Explorer window (for example, by double clicking on the My Documents icon). Click the plus sign next to My Computer and you should see the DVD drive. Let's suppose that it is drive F:.
Right-click on the DVD drive and select "Sharing and Security..."
In the box that comes up, under the "Sharing" tab, you may see a warning To protect your computer from unauthorized access, sharing the root of a dive is not recommended. If you understand the risk but still want to share the root of the drive, click here. This most informative warning is displayed for your consideration and you can proceed to consider it. If you decide that it is safe to share your DVD drive, then click where indicated.
Select "Share this folder"
Now, move to System B.
Bring up a Windows Explorer window (for example, by double clicking on the My Documents icon). Select Tools -> Map Network Drive. The Drive letter may offer a default, such as Z:. In the box for Folder, type two backslashes, the name of system A, a backslash, and its shared drive letter - for example \\SystemA\F
Continue with Step 2 above. When you get to Steps 5 and 6, remember to use the drive letter as it is known on System B - from the dialog box of a moment ago - for example
D:\Documents and Settings\Saturos\> Z: Z:\> install.bat C:\omp2012
If the DVD drive is on a system other than the one where you wish to do the installation, and if you do not wish to try to get a network mount working, then the final fallback is to use the compressed tarfile. If you choose this option, please carefully observe the warnings.
Go to the system with the DVD drive ("System A"). Insert the SPEC OMP2012 DVD.
From a command window (aka terminal window), cd to the top level directory on the DVD.
You are going to retrieve five things from the DVD. First, find the large tarfile and its corresponding md5 file:
cd install_archives dir omp2012.tar.xz*
or, if System A is a Unix system, then:
cd install_archives ls -l omp2012.tar.xz*
In either case, you should see one moderately large file > 200MB, omp2012.tar.xz, and a small file associated with it that contains a checksum, omp2012.tar.xz.md5.
If you don't see the above files, try looking for cpu*tar*. The name might change if, for example, a maintenance update of OMP2012 changes the name slightly to indicate an updated version.
Do whatever is required in order to transfer both files intact to the system where you wish to do the installation ("System B"). If you use ftp, do not forget to use image (binary) mode. For example:
ftp> bin <-------- important
200 Type set to I.
ftp> put omp2012.tar.xz
ftp> put omp2012.tar.xz.md5
Please note that the SPEC OMP2012 license agreement does not allow you to post the above file on any public ftp server. If your institution has a SPEC OMP2012 license, then it's fine to post it on an internal server that is accessible only to members of your institution.
Next, you are going to retrieve specxz.exe, specmd5sum.exe, and spectar.exe from the DVD.
Please do not use Windows Zip utilities, as these will not preserve line endings and will cause difficult-to-diagnose benchmark miscompares.
Please do not use other tar utilities, as these may not handle long path names. Many commonly-supplied tar utilities cannnot.
If you have GNU tar and the genuine xz, then you can use those; otherwise, look around on the DVD to find the SPEC-supplied versions, like so:
F:\> cd tools
F:\tools> cd bin
F:\tools\bin> dir

Once you've found these versions of specxz.exe, specmd5sum.exe, and spectar.exe, transfer them to system B using the same methods that you used for the big tarfile.
On system B, use specmd5sum to check that the file transfer worked correctly. In this example, we assume that you have placed all 5 of the files mentioned above in the \kits\ directory on drive C::
C:\kits\> specmd5sum -c omp2012.tar.xz.md5 omp2012.tar.xz: OK
Pick a disk with 8GB free, go there, and unpack the tarfile, like so:
C:\kits\> H: H:\> mkdir omp2012 H:\> cd omp2012 H:\omp2012\> C:\kits\specxz -d C:\kits\omp2012.tar.xz H:\omp2012\> C:\kits\spectar -xf C:\kits\omp2012.tar
Be patient: it will take bit of time to unpack! It might take 15 minutes, depending on the speed of your processor and disks. Go for a coffee break.
Now, type install, without any arguments afterwards. That is, unlike the instructions in step 6 above, you do not need to mention a device or directory if you are installing from the tarfile. You will see output similar, though not identical, to that shown in the example installation -- the messages about Unpacking xxxx are not printed, because you already did the unpacking with your spectar command.
Continue with step 6, editing the shrc.bat file, above.
At this time, SPEC does not provide an uninstall utility for SPEC OMP2012. Confusingly, there is a file named uninstall.sh in the top directory, but it does not remove the whole product; it only removes the SPEC tool set, and does not affect the benchmarks (which consume the bulk of the disk space).
To remove SPEC OMP2012 on Windows systems, select the top directory in Windows Explorer and delete it.
To remove SPEC OMP2012 on Unix systems, use rm -Rf on the directory where you installed the suite, for example:
rm -Rf /home/cs3000/saturos/spec/omp2012
If you have been using the output_root feature, you will have to track those down separately. Therefore, prior to removing the tree,, you might want to look for mentions of output root, for example:
Windows:
cd %SPEC%\config
findstr output_root *cfg
Unix:
cd $SPEC/config
grep output_root *cfg
Note: instead of deleting the entire directory tree, some users find it useful to keep the config and result subdirectories, while deleting everything else.
It has occasionally been reported that installation attempts fail if there is not a directory that can be used to hold temporary files. To check this point, print the %temp% environment variable, and try writing a small file to it, like this:
C:\Users\kumar> echo %temp% C:\Users\kumar\AppData\Local\Temp C:\Users\kumar> echo "hi" > %temp%\test-hi.txt C:\Users\kumar> type %temp%\test-hi.txt "hi" C:\Users\kumar> del %temp%\test-hi.txt
If %temp% is not set, the first echo command above will just print:
%temp%
If %temp% is set to a directory that is not writeable, the second command will print:
Access is denied
If either of these
happen, you should set it to the full path (with drive letter) of a directory that can be used as scratch space. For
example, if Kumaran would like to use a temporary directory underneath his directory on drive K:, he could type:
C:\> set temp=K:\KUMARAN\TEMP
There are many files in the SPEC OMP2012 kit that contain text. Unfortunately, Unix systems and Windows systems have different conventions for storing text files. Sometimes, a text file formatted for Windows will appear on Unix as if it has extra Control-M characters. Sometimes, a text file formatted for Unix will appear on Windows as if all the lines were joined together.
There are at least three ways for Windows users to correctly view and edit text files that originated on a Unix system:
Use WordPad. WordPad can commonly be found by
Start-->All Programs-->Accessories-->WordPad
Use the MS-DOS Editor. Open a Command Prompt and type "Edit". This alternative does not work on 64-bit Windows systems. The program only recognizes files with 8 characters or fewer, a dot, and then 3 characters or fewer. If you are trying to use it with a longer file name, you can discover that there is an "8 dot 3" synonym for it by typing: "dir /x".
Use the editor "vi". Although vi originated on Unix systems, there are also Windows versions. "UNIX Compatibility" products for Windows often include a version of vi, and there are independently-distributed versions, such as "Vi IMproved" (at http://www.vim.org/).
Note that SPEC does not "endorse" any of these solutions, although it is hoped that at least one of them will be useful for you.
