SPEC (benchmark, body)Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation.
A non-profit corporation registered in California formed to"establish, maintain and endorse a standardized set ofrelevant benchmarks that can be applied to the newestgeneration of high-performance computers" (from SPEC'sbylaws). The founders believe that the user community willbenefit greatly from an objective series ofapplications-oriented tests, which can serve as commonreference points and be considered during the evaluationprocess.
SPEC develops suites of benchmarks intended to measurecomputer performance. These are available to the public for afee covering development and administration costs.
The current (14 Nov 94) SPEC benchmark suites are: CINT92(CPU intensive integer benchmarks); CFP92 (CPU intensivefloating-point benchmarks); SDM (UNIX Software DevelopmentWorkloads); SFS (System level file server (NFS) workload).
Results.
SPEC also publishes a quarterly report of SPEC news andresults, The SPEC Newsletter. Some issues are here.
There is a FAQ about SPEC here.Spec (2)A specification language. It expresses black box interfacespecifications for large distributed systems with real-timeconstraints. It incorporates conceptual models, inheritanceand the event model. It is a descendant of MSG.84.

(2) (SPEC) (Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation, Warrenton, VA, www.specbench.org) An organization founded in 1988 to establish standard benchmarks for computers. Its first benchmark was a single CPU rating known as the "SPECmark," in which one SPECmark was equivalent in performance to a VAX 11/780. Although SPEC benchmarks continue to rate CPUs, SPEC has a variety of benchmarks to measure graphics subsystems, Java, Web servers, mail servers, application servers and file servers. Following are the SPEC names for current and retired CPU benchmarks. See SPECgpc and benchmark.
