At ISSCC last February, NEC announced 32-bit microprocessors, the
V60 and V70. One of my jobs over the coming months will be to
evaluate the performance of the V60. I want to put together a
package of benchmarks for this purpose and would appreciate
suggestions. I will compile responses and post them to the network
if there is interest.
1. C code benchmarks are my primary interest. References
to published studies (or copies of unpublished studies)
evaluating processors or C compilers will be appreciated.
Benchmark source code is also needed.
2. In an emulation mode, the V60 will execute 8086 code.
For this reason, assembly coded benchmarks for the
8086 are of interest. Again, I am interested in both
source code and any related performance studies.
3. The V60 performs floating point arithmetic, so
I am interested in benchmarks to evaluate floating
point arithmetic. I am especially interested in C
language or assembly language benchmarks of this kind
since a Fortran compiler is not immediately avalilable.
If you want literature on
the V60, I would prefer that
you call
1-800-632-3531
rather than send me mail.
Thanks in advance for all responses.
