Question Benchlight: A SPEC-inspired benchmark harness (with results!)

Hi all!

I've put together a simple harness for the redistributable free-software components of two SPEC subtests at https://desertelectric.org/benchlight - it includes some results for less-common systems. I thought some folks here might find it interesting.

It requires a roughly Unix-like system with a roughly Bourne-compatible shell, Perl, and the Perl datetime module, but is otherwise pretty portable and is known to run on Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, and - in a previous version - HP-UX.
 
0.9.7 is now released with some quality-of-life fixes and the Perl DateTime dependency removed.

Thanks for everyone that's submitted results - the selection is now an absolutely glorious selection of random 2010s and 2020s microarchitectures from just about every vendor. I would especially welcome, if anyone has them running, some Bulldozer family systems, Core2, or Nehalem.
 
I'll have you know I had to install perl to run your benchmark on bare metal.
It feels dirty. I should have used a container.

(This is mainly a joke from a python kid, very nice idea to make an unencumbered SPEC subset)

I hope you like it! I know the docs are pretty much nonexistant, so yell at me if you run into any trouble.

Oh it worked fine after editing the config file. The FAQ was clear enough.

14900F:
101.gcc: 10.24 (41)
102.xz: 5.66 (598)

Not that interesting, basically a duplicate of the 14900K. But I am intrigued as I have some machines not represented in the results:
Core 2 Duo T7400
i5 2500
Phenom II 955

I should have free time this weekend to boot those old machines and run it.

I would love to see all three!
