Rewards
for New Benchmarks
SPEC's Graphics and Workstation Performance Group (SPEC/GWPG) is seeking ISVs, software
user groups, publication editors and testing lab directors to
help develop and maintain standardized benchmarks based on professional graphics and workstation applications. Organizations or individuals can submit existing
benchmarks for consideration by a project group or help the group
develop an entirely new benchmark.
It is SPEC/GWPG's belief that end users of graphics and workstation applications benefit greatly from a broad-ranging set of benchmarks focusing on applications
in CAD/CAM/CAE, visualization, simulation, industrial design, animation
and other popular application areas. SPEC/GWPG project groups -- SPECapc, SPECgpc and SPECwpc -- work directly with leading ISVs to develop benchmarks that reflect the real-world
work of graphics and workstation users.
Here are some of the benefits your organization can receive from working
with SPEC/GWPG:
- Participation in the development process to ensure that benchmarks
reflect real-world user experience.
- Access to beta versions of benchmarks to test how your organization's
application performs on different hardware systems.
- Recognition of your organization's application as an industry leader
by SPEC/GWPG members representing major graphics systems
vendors.
- Positive marketing exposure for your organization's application
in the trade press and on the SPEC's web site, visited by
3 million annually.
- Positive marketing exposure for your organization's application
through its use as a worldwide industry standard.
- Positive marketing exposure for your organization’s application
through quotes of performance numbers in advertisements, testing
lab reports in trade publications, and marketing collateral.
Contact info@spec.org to discuss how we can work together to make your organization’s
application become the basis for a worldwide benchmarking standard.
