[comp.lang.c++] Need C++ benchmark/application

hunter@oakhill.UUCP (Hunter Scales) (10/03/90)

	Hello all:

	I am looking for a non-trivial C++ benchmark/application
	similar to the Spec benchmarks to benchmark a processor that
	we are working on.

	Ideally, it would be non-device dependent using only the
	most rudimentary unix system calls (open, close, read, write, etc)
	run for a reasonable length of time (minutes) and produce an
	"answer" that could be verfied.  

	The code does not have to be in the public domain, we
	would be willing to pay for the right to compile and test it,
	although we would not actually sell or re-distribute it or
	the executables.

	Interviews was recommended to me as a non-trivial C++
	application but it must run under X and out simulator doesnt
	support the X calls.

	Please reply by email.  Thanks.

How about using libg++?  The tests directory contains code which takes
a fair bit of time to calculate.  You can make the code arbitrarily
complicated.
