The git repo for the fio/SPC-1 tool is here: http://git.kernel.dk/?p=fio.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/spc1-test
We talked about using this tool here: Lee, D., O'Sullivan, M. J., & Walker, C. G. (2010). Practical Measurement of Typical Disk Performance and Power Consumption using Open Source SPC-1. In 2010 Annual Conference on GreenIT (pp. 8 pages). Singapore. doi:10.5176/978-981-08-7240-3_G-15
As you will see from the git repo, this hasn't been worked on since 2010, but it may be useful and it would be cool to see this work extended. It was quite a while ago, but I think we may have had to modify the original NetApp open source SPC-1 code a little to fix some bugs...
Thanks, Mike

Hi Justin & Luis,
We did a branch of fio that implemented this SPC-1 trace a few years ago. I can dig up the code and paper we wrote if it is useful?
Cheers, Mike
