The European Unix system User Group (EUUG) announces the distribution
of its benchmarking package. This is a suite of programs designed to
provide a standard for performance evaluation of UNIX systems.
The package contains a number of programs which test various aspects of
system performance; these programs are compiled and run, the time taken
to run them is noted and reported in a standard form which can be directly
compared with benchmark runs on other machines or implementations.
The software is available to members of the EUUG - enquiries to mcvax!teus.
The EUUG will collate results of benchmark runs and publish them as
aprropriate. Occasional updates will also be made to the package as it is
felt necessary. If you want more details, I will reply by mail unless the
number of enquiries is high enough to make it worth broadcasting a more
detailed description on the net.
Chairman of the EUUG benchmarking committee,
