A typical benchmark run takes about three minutes per warehouse. SPECjbb2000 measures throughput in a fixed amount of time, so faster machines do more work in the allotted time. Testing by SPEC on a variety of platforms shows that results are consistent and repeatable. SPECjbb2000 licensees may publish their own results in accordance with SPEC s run and reporting rules. JVMs generally need 32MB or more of disk space for the installed software and the benchmark itself requires 10MB of disk space.
