While testing and validation are vital to a benchmark development process, continued testing and validation after the benchmark has been released is also essential for ensuring robust benchmarking. Trey Morton has consistently gone above and beyond in his dedication to ensuring that benchmarks cover the full spectrum of professional workstations, that they deliver consistent results across all platforms, and that the benchmark documentation is as free as possible from ambiguities that could cause user frustration. Trey not only performed this important testing on one benchmark, but on every new SPEC/GWPG benchmark released in 2020, requiring dozens of test platforms.
