"SPEC to develop energy metrics for servers
　New committee explores intersection of power use & performance", May 15, 2006
　http://www.spec.org/specpower/pressrelease.html
　"The non-profit Standard Performance Evaluation Corp. (SPEC) has formed a new committee to develop standard
　 methods and metrics for comparing energy use of server-class computers."
　"The first SPEC energy and performance benchmark is scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2007."

SPEC Power-Performance Committee
　http://www.spec.org/specpower/
　"The SPEC Power-Performance committee has begun development of the first generation SPEC benchmark
　 for evaluating the energy efficiency for server class computers."

　Benchmark Goals
　　System utilization will vary in order to provide multiple usage loads and energy measurement points.
　　　Energy measurements are made at the AC input to the system under test.
　　　The benchmark as initially planned addresses a subset of server workloads.
