Cross-Compiling SPEC CPU2017 for RISC-V (RV64): A Practical Guide
SPEC CPU2017 is a well-known benchmark suite for evaluating CPU-intensive performance. Although it assumes native compilation and execution, there are cases—especially with RISC-V (RV64) platforms—where cross-compilation is the only feasible route. This guide walks through the steps to cross-compile SPEC CPU2017 for RISC-V, transfer the binaries to a target system, and optionally use the --fake option to simulate runs where execution isn't possible or needed during develop
