[net.micro.16k] DSI-32 Dhrystone result

jk@utastro.UUCP (01/26/86)

     Well, from talking with the people at Definicon, I was able to dig
  up the results to the Dhrystone benchmark.  They say it was 1500 Dhry/sec
  using the 11/11/85 dated version of the compiler ( it has been revised,
  but I do not know the results of the program with the latest version ).
  On the VAX 11/780 here at the astronomy dept., I get between 860 and 1200
  Dhry/sec with load averages (respectively) of 3.5 and 2.0 (under 4.2 BSD
  UNIX).  Someone out there must have a board configured for running the
  benchmark (that is, they have an interupt control unit).  Please let
  us out here know.

Someone was quoting benchmarks regarding the 32xxx.  They said it got
around 1500.  Other dhrystone benchmarks of interest might be:

Vax780	-		Unix4.3		1646	1662
Sun-3	68020-16Mhz	Sun4.2 V3	3333	3571
Sun-2	68010-10Mhz	standalone	1219	1315

I would be *very* interested in knowing more about the architecture
of this beasty. It seems to get so far ahead of any other 320??
benchmark....
Or is it their C compiler that works these wonders?
