The release of the SPECviewperf 2020 v3.0 Linux Edition benchmark would not have happened without the tireless effort of Ross Cunniff. He identified the need for the benchmark, took leadership of the project, and pushed it through to completion, pulling in resources to get the job done. Ross brings a critical deep understanding of the workstation market, who the users are, what their challenges are, and why a Linux version is so important to both users and vendors. He also understood that creating a Linux version of the benchmark would increase the number of vendors and businesses depending on the industry gold standard workstation graphics benchmark and expanding the reach and prestige of SPEC as an organization. His value to SPEC extends well beyond his input on SPECviewperf. Ross served as a founding Board member for the MLCommons benchmark consortium and brings a broad industry perspective to SPEC. As the chair of the SPECgpc Committee, Ross is highly involved, supporting other Graphics and Workstation Performance Group (GWPG) committees whenever necessary and contributing to the development and refinement of GWPG policies to increase GWPG's resilience and professionalism.
