                for New Benchmarks
 The SPECapc and SPECopc 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/GPC'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 SPECopc 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 SPECopc:  
                 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/GPC 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 SPECopc 
                to discuss how we can work together to make your organization’s 
                application become the basis for a worldwide benchmarking standard.
