[comp.arch] Register Window Benchmarks

karlton@wiliki.eng.hawaii.edu (Karlton Lau) (03/17/90)

I'm working on a research project which will try to optimize the number
of frames that are bumped/restored during overflows/underflows in an 
architecture with overlapping multiple register sets.  In order to
do this I need some procedure-intensive benchmarks on which I can do 
trace studies.

I am wondering if there is such a thing as a benchmark program which has
a "typical" profile of procedure calls (in terms of depth and number).  
If anyone can suggest where I might be able to find something like this,
or has some benchmark which they think would fit the bill, and would be
willing to let me have, I would appreciate hearing from you.

	Thanks in advance!
