- Though I'm not the SPEC PRE-LADDIS police, perhaps I should point
- out that anyone who has the PRE-LADDIS benchmark received it
- either under a SPEC member agreement or a SPEC beta test
- evaluation agreement, both of which I believe prevent transmission
- of said benchmark to a third party. If someone has a version of
- the PRE-LADDIS benchmark not obtained through one of these two avenues:
- shame, shame, shame. And don't confess to me--I don't want to be
- put in a moral dilemna.
-
- I have three suggestions:
-
- 1. Voice your concern over availability/unavailability of
- benchmark to the above address and the beta test period,
- etc.
-
- We live in a democracy and free speech prevails.
-
- 2. The alternative nhfsstone benchmark from Legato, upon which
- PRE-LADDIS was based (a long time ago), is available I believe
- from a mail archive server at Legato. See instructions below.
-
- 3. A more interesting alternative is to join SPEC. I've heard
- tell that you can join at some low level of membership and
- have access to the benchmarks (including post-beta versions
- of PRE-LADDIS). I may be wrong (it may only be for educational
- or non-profit institutions?). As far as I can tell, the e-mail
- address and other stuff for information is:
-
- Systems Performance Evaluation Corporation [SPEC]
- c/o NCGA
- Suite 200
- Fairfax, VA, 22031
-
- Ph: 703-698-9600 x318
- FAX: 703-560-2752
- spec-ncga@cup.portal.com
-
- In addition to access to SPEC benchmarks (including PRE-LADDIS)
- you get added to nifty discussion aliases? If I'm wrong in
- some details, forgive me.
