Because of his background in assembly-level programming and low-level C coding on machines with slow CPUs and very little RAM, David Wren, PassMark Software’s founder, had a strong interest in coding efficiency and computer performance. It was from this interest that PassMark’s benchmark application, PerformanceTest, was born in 1998. At that time, many of the available performance-benchmarking utilities were narrowly focused and were only suitable for use by other programmers.
