SPEC
Jessica Heerboth

Jessica Heerboth spearheaded the launch of the new Graphics and Workstation Performance Group (GWPG) Public Outreach program, designed to engage user communities, so SPEC can develop the best possible benchmarks. SPECapc benchmark design requires workloads and content that are relevant and useful to users of a particular application, and the Public Outreach program is engaging with various user communities to request representative workloads and content that can be submitted to SPEC for potential inclusion in upcoming benchmarks. Jessica has touched every aspect of the program – from ideation, to document draft and design, to submission logistics and even the identification of channels for engagement, such as Reddit and application user forums. As part of this effort, Jessica is also actively collaborating with a leading 3D content creator to use their 3D models in upcoming benchmarks.
