SPEC Membership
SPEC is a consortium comprised of members all over the world who have joined one or more groups in our organization.
Embedded Group (EG)
SPEC’s Embedded Group, EG (formerly EEMBC), develops industry-standard benchmarks for the hardware and software used in autonomous driving, mobile imaging, the Internet of Things, mobile devices, and many other applications. Benchmark suites are developed by working groups of our members who share an interest in developing clearly defined standards for measuring the performance and energy efficiency of embedded processor implementations, from IoT edge nodes to next-generation advanced driver-assistance systems.

Graphics and Workstation Performance Group (GWPG)
The Graphics & Workstation Performance Group, GWPG, supports the development of a range of graphics and workstation benchmarks that have a value to the user and vendor communities. GWPG develops three separate projects: GPC focuses on graphics performance benchmarks for systems running under OpenGL, DX, and potentially other application programming interfaces, APC focuses on professional-level graphics and workstation applications, and WPC addresses broader workstation performance benchmarks.
