SPEC is comprised of six groups:

• Embedded Group (EG): Develops industry-standard benchmarks for the hardware and software used in autonomous driving, mobile imaging, the Internet of Things, mobile devices, and many other applications.

• Graphics and Workstation Performance Group (GWPG): Develops consistent, repeatable graphics and workstation performance benchmarks in a way that reflects user experiences with popular applications.

• High Performance Group (HPG): Develops benchmarks to represent high-performance computing applications for standardized, cross-platform performance evaluation.

• International Standards Group (ISG): Oversees the establishment of standardized benchmarks primarily developed for the use in government regulations and programs, and collaborates with national and international standard development organizations to enhance global standards.

• Open Systems Group (OSG): Develops component- and systems-level benchmarks for workstations and servers running open operating system environments.

• Research Group (RG): Promotes research on benchmarking methodologies and tools used to deliver benchmark suites and performance analysis frameworks for established and newly emerging technologies.
