Hi,

I hereby nominate Emanuel Peter to Membership in the HotSpot Group.

Emanuel is a member of the HotSpot Compiler Team at Oracle and contributed more than 75 changes to
the JDK project [1]. Emanuel has acquired expert knowledge in critical areas of C2 and has
successfully addressed and resolved complex, long-standing issues within the codebase. For example,
he tackled problems related to irreducible loops and implemented effective solutions. Moreover, he
introduced additional verification of optimizations, leading to the discovery and resolution of
various long-standing issues, while also improving the debugability of new problems. He developed
new stress testing methods, which led to the identification and resolution of multiple bugs.

His involvement in C2's SuperWord optimization has significantly improved both performance and
correctness, establishing him as our go-to expert in that domain. Furthermore, Emanuel already
participated in the review process, providing valuable insights and improvements to contributions
made by fellow developers.

Votes are due by Monday, 26 June 2023 at 14:00 UTC.

Only current Members of the HotSpot Group [2] are eligible to vote on this nomination. Votes must be
cast in the open by replying to this mailing list.

Best regards,
Tobias
