The '''Princeton Application Repository for Shared-Memory Computers''' (PARSEC) is a [[Benchmark (computing)|benchmark suite]] composed of multithreaded emerging workloads that is used to evaluate and develop next-generation [[multi-core processor|chip-multiprocessors]]. It was collaboratively created by [[Intel]] and [[Princeton University]] to drive research efforts on future computer systems.<ref name="ednnews">{{cite web
