CRIPS
Definition
CRIPS means SPECIntRate per Core (but reversed).
It is based on SPECrate® 2017 Integer [1]of a server divided by the physical number of cores.
Purpose
A metric that allow us to compare server CPU performance based on throughput of a server but converted back to the system's specific CPU core.
I defined it to compare server and processing power.and as a foundation for server sizings. Converting SPECRate integer to a per-core gives us a foundation to do further calculations.
Older benchmarks
Before SPEC CPU 2017 there was SPEC CPU 2006 (now obsolete). To convert from SPEC CPU 2006 to SPEC CPU 2017, we divide the baseline number by 10 (based on empirical evidence).
