I have the old Dhrystone benchmark source (C/1.1 12/01/84, updated 02/17/86) and would like to get a more recent version, with results. Other 'recognised' benchmark programs (and results) would also be welcomed. I am a little (!) out of touch with this field, but I imagine the Byte benchmarks would be relevant. Various marketing types have decided this is the fashionable activity this week. Colin J Denman Senior Programmer GPT Data Systems cd@uk.co.gec-rl-hrc (or somesuch)

The National Bureau of Standard maintains a server which will send you various information on benchmarks, including programs and results. Here is what they offer: NBSLIB@ICST-CMR.ARPA - National Bureau of Standards The NBSLIB is a collection of benchmarks, measurement data, and a bibliography on benchmarking maintained at NBS as part of a project on the performance measurement of parallel computers. The collection exists to provide a pool of measurement data and benchmarks on more or less "large" computers. For more information on how to send commands to NBSLIB, send the following command as the first line of a mail message: SEND DOC FROM INFO Accepts commands via MAIL.
