8-letter words starting with spec
- spec'ing — Usually, specs. specification (def 2).
- speccing — Usually, specs. specification (def 2).
- specfp92 — (benchmark) A benchmark result derived from the results of a set of CPU intensive floating-point benchmarks from SPEC (the geometric mean of the 14 SPEC ratios of CFP92). SPECfp92 can be used to estimate a machine's single-tasking performance on floating-point code.
- speciate — to form or develop into a new biological species
- specific — having a special application, bearing, or reference; specifying, explicit, or definite: to state one's specific purpose.
- specimen — a part or an individual taken as exemplifying a whole mass or number; a typical animal, plant, mineral, part, etc.
- specious — apparently good or right though lacking real merit; superficially pleasing or plausible: specious arguments.
- specking — a small spot differing in color or substance from that of the surface or material upon which it appears or lies: Specks of soot on the window sill.
- speckled — dotted, flecked
- specmark — (benchmark) The average of a set of floating-point and integer SPEC benchmark results. While the old average SPECmark89 has been popular with the industry and the press, SPEC has intentionally *not* defined an average "SPECmark92" over all CPU benchmarks of the 1992 suites (CINT92 and CFP92), for the following reasons: With 6 integer (CINT92) and 14 floating-point (CFP92) benchmarks, the average would be biased too much toward floating-point. Customers' workloads are different, some integer-only, some floating-point intensive, some mixed. Current processors have developed their strengths in a more diverse way (some more emphasizing integer performance, some more floating-point performance) than in 1989. Some SPECmark results are available here. See also SPECint92, SPECfp92, SPECrate_int92, SPECrate_fp92.
- spectate — to participate as a spectator, as at a horse race.
- spectral — of or relating to a specter; ghostly; phantom.
- spectrin — a rodlike structural protein of the red blood cell membrane.
- spectro- — indicating a spectrum
- spectrum — ZX Spectrum
- specular — pertaining to or having the properties of a mirror.
- speculum — a mirror or reflector, especially one of polished metal, as on a reflecting telescope.
