Notes:
(1) The Savage Benchmark, by Bill Savage, first appeared in Dr. Dobb's
Journal, Sept 1983, page 120.
(2) The Macintosh results are from Byte, The Small Systems Journal,
Aug 1986, page 254. There appears to be a 'typo' in the
published accuracy results. Exact result should be 2500.0 .
(3) The Savage Benchmark requires use of IEEE double precision
to obtain a reasonably small error. The error is unacceptably
large for IEEE single precision. All the above results were
obtained with double precision except for the MetaComCo ABasiC
where double precision variables were used but the math functions
were calculated only to single precision. As can be seen ABasiC
is fast but the error is too large for a meaningful result.
