SPEC award recipients, Power Performance
Wednesday Mar 26, 2008
More SPECtacular awards given at SPEC's 2008 annual meeting in San Francisco, to members of the power committee who produced the SPECpower_ssj2008 benchmark. This wasn't an easy benchmark to do, taking us into areas of engineering not so familiar to performance analysts. Along the way we picked up some new contributors, and some of us picked up some new knowledge and skills. Energy efficiency is increasingly important, and eventually I expect to see power measurements as part of every performance benchmark. But for now, SPECpower_ssj2008 is a great start that establishes a fair and practical methodology for consistent measurement.
As before I won't cite names without permission, but will add them later if given the okay. SPEC thanks:
- Paul Muehr from AMD
- Greg Darnell, and another engineer from Dell
- Karin Wulf, and another engineer from Fujitsu-Siemens
- Klaus Lange, and another engineer from HP
- Jeremy Arnold, Alan Adamson, and another engineer from IBM
- Anil Kumar, and two other engineers from Intel
- an engineer from Sun
- Michael Armbrust from UC Berkeley RAD Lab
