SPECvirt_sc2010 is a
computer benchmark
In computing, a benchmark is the act of running a computer program, a set of programs, or other operations, in order to assess the relative performance of an object, normally by running a number of standard tests and trials against it.

The SPECvirt_sc2010 benchmark measures the maximum number of workloads that a platform can simultaneously run while maintaining specific quality of service metrics. Each workload, called a tile, consists of a specific set of virtual machines.
In addition to generating results that show performance, the benchmark can also be used to generate performance per watt results.
The SPECvirt_sc2010 was not supported by SPEC from February 26, 2014 and its successor is SPECvirt_sc2013.
