[comp.lang.lisp] Gabriel benchmarks

gibbons@nicmad.UUCP (Tom Gibbons) (07/15/88)

I am currently trying to evaluate Kyoto Common Lisp (kcl) which
I am running under X windows (on a Sun).  I am interested in seeing
if running it in a window affects its performance.  I've just finished
running the Gabriel benchmarks on it and was wondering how to interpret 
the results.

Is there some reference manual to help me understand what the different
benchmarks measure?  And if so where can I get a copy?

Also, does anyone have Gabriel benchmarks for any other machines and/or
implementations of Common Lisp?  I would be interested in comparing them
to my results.  I would also be willing to share my results with anyone
who is interested.

Please email responses to me (I'll summarize here if there is a need).

Thanks...

This question seems to come up every month or two in this newsgroup.

There is a copy of the Gabriel benchmarks in Common Lisp available for
anonymous FTP from host cs.utah.edu (128.110.4.21), in file
~ftp/pub/gabriel.tar.Z.  It's in compressed tar format.  I believe
this was also posted to comp.sources.misc some time ago, so you might
also check out the archive sites for that newsgroup.

I remember having seen a ftp site to get the Gabriel benchmarks but I
forgot the name. Could somebody give me a hint? I'm especially interested
in Sun / Franz Luzid results.


  Thanks in advance,  Alex

Are the Gabriel benchmark programs available anywhere on the net?
