                            for New Benchmarks
 The SPECapc and SPECgpc project groups are seeking ISVs,
                    software user groups, publication editors and testing
                    lab directors to help develop and maintain standardized
                    benchmarks based on graphics-intensive 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 applications
                    will 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. SPECapc and SPECgpc are working directly
                    with leading ISVs to develop benchmarks that reflect
                    the real-world work of graphics users.  Here are some of the benefits your organization can receive
                    from working with SPECapc or SPECgpc:  
                     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 SPECapc and/or SPECopc members
                        representing major graphics systems vendors.  Positive marketing exposure for your organization's
                        application in the trade press and on the SPEC/GWPG
                        Group's web site, visited by 15 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 SPECapc or SPECgpc to
                    discuss how we can work together to make your organization’s
                    application become the basis for a worldwide benchmarking
                    standard.     |
