CPU Workload

The CPU workload was designed to simulate users performing "production" runs of CPU-intensive applications. Because we are modeling a production workload, we introduce no dependencies between jobs in a single workload; all jobs can be run in parallel. Each user runs only one application in each workload, but the application is executed numerous times with different parameters. Each workload was designed to run for between 8 and 12 minutes on a single processor Sparc Station 20.

The simulated users ran the following programs the number of times indicated. The first fourteen applications are taken from the specFP-92 suite (some modified slightly to accomodate different parameters and workload sizes).
