The question is whether they're effectively the same for the purpose of measuring resource usage, i.e. that you calculate the HEPSPEC by running cores*hyperthreads copies of the benchmark, and then "charge" the jobs for using HEPSPEC*time resources (assuming that the system is full of jobs at the time). If you think that's wrong, what do you think it should be?
