Daniel Bowers

A member of the SPEC CPU subcommittee, Daniel Bowers has been fighting to preserve the SPEC CPU tradition of porting the benchmarks to a variety of environments. In particular, some have suggested that perhaps the SPEC CPU v8 benchmark should not bother to support Microsoft Windows on the grounds that SPEC has not published any SPEC CPU Windows results in the last six years. During 2022, Daniel contributed 16 portability reports for Windows, using both Microsoft Visual Studio and MinGW. He has also analyzed faults and suggested specific fixes to resolve issues.
