I think it would be interesting to benchmark various different
machines using gcc as the compiler. This partially removes one
variable: how much performance is due to the compiler and how much to
the hardware.
So, I'm interested in getting hooked up with people with both Unix
licenses and gcc running on different hardware platforms. I'll
provide the benchmark suite (although additions are cheerfully
accepted).
I have gcc1.30 on a 4.3bsd VAX 780 and a Sun 3/60.
Anyone have gcc running on a Sun 3/260 that's willing to help? How
about a Sun 4/260? VAX 8700? Convex? Tahoe? Brand X?

Well, yes, we've got gcc 1.30 running on the Convexen here. (finally.) Send me your benchmark code, but do it quick, my last day here is Friday. (And I still have to get the diffs back to FSF.)
