[comp.sys.amiga] Dhrystones, Lattice 5.04, Amiga 1000

mcdonley@dinl.uucp (alan mcdonley) (03/30/90)

I ran the dhrystone suite on my amiga 1000 last night.
compiled with Lattice 1.x 454 dhrystones/sec
compiled with Lattice 5.04, no optimize 840
compiled with Lattice 5.04, optimize 1075 dhrystones/sec

who said that the global optimizer wasn't worth it?  for little things
maybe not but 1 dhrystone is 100 lines of code executed and with the
optimizer my amiga1000 can do 230 * 100 = 23000 lines of code more each
and every second.  I call that impressive.

btw - sun 3/260 with Metaware HighC compiler 10172/sec
      sun 3/260 with standard cc              6138/sec
      ibm ps/2-80 with lots of ram            4000/sec
      ibm 6000                               28000/sec!!!
