Benchmarking programs needed
We are in need of benchmarking programs for various types of workstations
that are currently under evaluation + study. I need to get some enlightenment
in this topic of benchmarking. Of whatever little I know of benchmarks, it
appears that there are a variety of public domain benchmarks that are
available.
I will try to give some outline of what we need, hereunder.
(1) A floating-point based bench mark is required for a Microvax II running
VMS 4.7. We want to test it against a 11/785 and a 8600 machine. It will
be nice if I could get the src code or the .EXE file(s) for Application
oriented, Disc access oriented and CPU intensive benchmarks.
I have heard that in addition to public domain benchmarking programs,
there are source codes available, such as 'Wet-stone' (spelling?), for
evaluating floating point based applications. Can someone kindly e-mail
me the source code(s) for such standard routines?
(2) A floating point based and disc access based benchmark for a Sun station
running 4.2 BSD Unix and 2.1 DEC Ultrix will also be needed.
Readers, I do understand that my specifications mentioned above, could be
little off or vague. But, bare it with me; this is my first experience with
benchmarks. Thanks to all for taking the time to read this article.
Kindly send me e-mail directly, as I am not a regular reader of all the groups
where this is getting posted.
