It would be cool (and publicity) if Julia would make it into SPEC version 6. Anyway, might be of interest to people here. SPEC used C or Fortran last I looked, I see only references to "languages", "C/C++" and "portable": https://www.spec.org/cpuv6/ "SPEC holds to the principle that better benchmarks can be developed from actual applications. With this in mind, SPEC is once again seeking to encourage those outside of SPEC to assist us in locating applications that could be used in the next CPU-intensive benchmark suite, currently under development within SPEC and currently designated as SPEC CPUv6.[..] Portable or can be ported to multiple hardware architectures and operating systems with reasonable effort For C/C++ programs: [..] for the main routine, take one of these two forms [..] the programming(s) language used in the program/application and approximate lines of code, [..] Step 4: Complete Code Testing and Benchmark Infrastructure ($1000 upon successful completion) [..] SPEC always prefers to use code that conforms to the relevant language standards. [..] Step 6: Acceptance into the CPU Suite ($2500 if accepted) If the program/application is recommended to and is accepted by the Open Systems Group, in its sole discretion, then the program/application is included in the suite and the Submitter will receive $2500 and a license for the suite when it is released."
