SPECfp and SPECint are to two sets of standardized benchmark suites
which measure CPU speed. Fp and int refer to floating point and
integer operations, respectively. The '92' is the year the
particular benchmark was standardized. (analogous to "fortran 77")

I'm not familiar with AIM but I imagine it is another CPU benchmark
suite..
