What's Here

SPEC is making available to everyone its latest performance results along with a variety of information to help understand these results. On this system we are working to provide submitted results, benchmark descriptions, background information, and tools -- everything that we can provide to aid in performance comparisons.

This site will be constantly evolving with new results and articles added as they become available.

Areas of Interest

General

SPEC Information: All about SPEC. Who we are, how reach us, how to join, benefits of membership, etc.
