I looked at wikipedia and it says:

SPRT is applied in Stockfish testing to terminate self-testing series early if the result is likely outside a given elo- (This explains what the LLR means.)

LOS means Likelihood of Superiority (It says which engine is stronger).

I am assuming you got this information from https://tests.stockfishchess.org/, which a test from there looks like this:

ChessconnectDGTTest

Also, STC should be "Short Time Control" and LTC should stand for "Long Time Control". Sometimes I saw also VLTC which I assume is Very Long Time Control.
