BenchmarkBrief description

401.bzip2Julian Seward’s bzip2 version 1.0.3, modified to do most work in memory, rather than doing I/O
433.milcA gauge field generating program for lattice gauge theory programs with dynamical quarks
434.zeusmpZEUS-MP is a computational fluid dynamics code developed at the Laboratory for Computational
Astrophysics (NCSA, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) for the simulation of astrophysical phenomena
437.leslie3dComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) using large-eddy simulations with linear-eddy model in 3D; uses the MacCormack predictor-corrector time integration scheme
445.gobmkPlays the game of go, a simply described but deeply complex game
453.povrayImage rendering; the test case is antialiased image of a landscape with some abstract objects with textures using a Perlin noise function
456.hmmerProtein sequence analysis using profile hidden Markov models (profile HMMs)
458.sjengA highly-ranked chess program that also plays several chess variants
464.h264refA reference implementation of H.264/AVC encodes a videostream using 2 parameter sets; the H.264/AVC standard is expected to replace MPEG2
481.wrfWeather modeling from scales of meters to thousands of kilometers; the test case is from a 30 km area over 2 days
