Abstract
During the development of the new benchmark suite CPU2006, SPEC analyzed benchmark candidates for various technical attributes, including time profiles, language standard compliance, I/O activity, system resource usage, and many other attributes. Many people contributed to the analysis, as shown in the credits at www.spec.org/cpu2006/docs/credits.html. This issue of Computer Architecture News presents a set of articles flowing from that analysis effort.

Guest Editors' Introduction: Benchmarking for Design and Test
This special issue on benchmarking for design and test represents a snapshot of a continuing effort to collect and utilize larger and more sophisticated benchmarks for design and test tools and algorithms. Before we start, let's discuss what we mean by ...
Mark-copy: fast copying GC with less space overhead
OOPSLA '03: Proceedings of the 18th annual ACM SIGPLAN conference on Object-oriented programing, systems, languages, and applicationsCopying garbage collectors have a number of advantages over non-copying collectors, including cheap allocation and avoiding fragmentation. However, in order to provide completeness (the guarantee to reclaim each garbage object eventually), standard ...
