[comp.sys.dec] Benchmarking workstations, user-relevant tests

hansd@cs.chalmers.se (Hans Djurfeldt) (07/25/89)

I'm locking for benchmarks relevant for software engineers, NOT only
CPU-intensive things like Dhrystone, Sieve or any of those recently
announced by SPEC. My ambition is to measure things like keyclick 
expansion time when editing in different workloads (simulate multi-
window work sessions), I/O, Graphics and Network I/O.

My project runs for this summer and the following workstations will be
compared (available inhouse): DECstation 3100, VAXstation 3200,
SUN Sparcstation,SONY NWS-1530, DataGeneral AViiON 300, SUN 3/50 3/60
and IBM RT. Everything will be written in C and csh. 

Sincerely
	
	Hans
