The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC), was founded in 1988 by a small number of workstation vendors who realized that the marketplace was in desperate need of realistic, standardized performance tests. The key realization was that an ounce of honest data was worth more than a pound of marketing hype.
SPEC welcomes interested conference attendees who would like to attend the co-located SPEC subcommittee meetings as guests for free. Please register online

SPEC Research Group (RG) serves as a platform for collaborative research efforts in the area of quantitative system evaluation and analysis, fostering interaction between industry and academia. The group develops methodologies, techniques and tools for measurement, load testing, profiling, workload characterization, dependability and efficiency evaluation of computing systems. Additional information about the SPEC Research Group: research.spec.org

creates standardized software to measure the performance of workstations running professional applications in CAD, 3D animation and other areas. For more details, go to www.spec.org/gwpg/. SPEC/GWPG committees are:
- SPECapc develops benchmarks for measuring performance of workstations running popular professional applications.
- SPECgpc develops SPECviewperf, a synthetic benchmark that measures graphics performance based on popular graphics-intensive applications.
- SPECwpc develops standardized tests to measure all aspects of workstation performance across a broad spectrum of applications.
The High Performance Group (HPG)www.spec.org/hpg/.
- OSG CPU Committee
- OSG Cloud Committee is developing benchmarks using representative cloud workloads not covered by other OSG groups.
- OSG Handheld Committee is developing a compute-intensive benchmark for hand-held devices that can be used by device manufacturers, software vendors and application developers to test and market higher-performing products. Developers and other decision-makers, or even consumers, could use the data from benchmark testing to better evaluate the compute capabilities of available handheld devices.
