in somebody's brochure for the same, but that's about all I know. Could someone please post here or mail to me references as to where I can get more information about this benchmark. We have about six different UNIX systems that we have ported our real time data acquisition and control software to. We have developed a benchmark that we are using to measure the extent of "real time" on these plarforms as relates to our application. We would like to compare the results of our benchmarking with the realstone benchmark(s). It would be nice if there was enough correspondence between them so that we could predict the performance of our software on platforms we haven't yet ported to from the realstone numbers for these platforms.

Another appripriate benchmark for many real-time systems is the Hartstone suite, which measures (generally speaking) real-time responsiveness of a multi-tasking OS. The load for tasks in Hartstone is the Whetstone benchmark. It certainly has turned out to be an excellent test and benchmark for our Ada tasking kernel. Hartstone has been written in portable Ada, and is being adapted by some folks (or so I hear) to run on real-time kernels. It was developed at CMU's SEI for the Real-Time Embedded Systems Testbed Project.
