                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.
