We are happy to announce that SPEC, through the tireless efforts of our International Standards Group, has successfully advocated for changes to U.S. export policies. This clarification re-enables companies on the BIS Entity List to participate in creating global standards. This is a pivotal moment that strengthens the very goal of standardization: bringing together the best minds from industry, academia, and research worldwide to cooperate on crucial computing energy efficiency standards. We look forward to the return of previously excluded member companies and fostering even more inclusive benchmark development, including the next-gen SERT Suite. Harmonized global standards mean significant cost reductions for manufacturers and more effective pathways to sustainable technology development.

We are incredibly proud to announce that the paper “Early Detection of Performance Regressions by Bridging Local Performance Data and Architectural Models” has received the prestigious ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award at the International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE) 2025! Authored by Lizhi Liao, Simon Eismann, Heng Li, Cor-Paul Bezemer, Diego Elias Costa, André van Hoorn, and Weiyi Shang, this pioneering work introduces a novel approach to early detection of end-to-end system performance regressions. By intelligently integrating insights from small-scale performance testing data with software architecture models, the research allows developers to identify potential issues early in the development lifecycle, reducing the reliance on costly and time-consuming system-wide performance testing. The selection committee recognized the paper's significant contribution to addressing system performance regressions more efficiently and proactively, a crucial advancement in today's fast-paced software development landscape. This collaborative effort originated within the SPEC RG DevOps Performance Working Group, highlighting the power of community-driven research. Congratulations to all the authors on this remarkable achievement! #ICSE2025 #ACMSIGSOFT #DistinguishedPaperAward #SoftwareEngineering #PerformanceRegression #DevOps #Research #Innovation #SPEC
