SPEC, the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation, is looking for realistic OpenMP applications to include in the next version of the SPEC CPU and SPEC OMP benchmark suites.

SPEC is sponsoring a search program, and for each step of the process that a submission passes, SPEC will compensate the Program Submitter (in recognition of the Submitter’s effort and skill). A submission that passes all of the steps and is included in the next SPEC CPU benchmark suite will receive $5000 US overall and a license for the new benchmark suite when released.   Details on the Benchmark Search Program at: http://www.spec.org/cpuv6/.
