    ABSTRACT:: We present the Stanford Parallel Applications for
               Shared-Memory (SPLASH), a set of parallel applications for
               use in the design and evaluation of shared-memory
               multiprocessing systems. Our goal is to provide a suite of
               realistic applications that will serve as a well-documented
               and consistent basis for evaluation studies. We describe the
               applications currently in the suite in detail, discuss and
               compare some of their important characteristicsPsuch as data
               locality, granularity, synchronization, etc.Pand explore
               their behavior by running them on a real multiprocessor as
               well as on a simulator of an idealized parallel architecture.
               We expect the current set of applications to act as a nucleus
               for a suite that will grow with time.
