Why did the APC project group decide to join the GPC Group?
A. This initiative stemmed from members of the GPC Group seeing a common need for better application benchmarks. The GPC Group, with its affiliation with SPEC (Standard Performance Evaluation Corp.), already has systems in place for running such a project and ensuring standardization of the workloads, measurement criteria, review processes, and reporting formats. This saves a great deal of administrative time and resources, allowing the project group to concentrate more fully on developing and maintaining benchmarks.
