The program MATLAB provides a routine to benchmark your machine 
so that it can be compared to other machines runnning the same 
program. KFlops were calculated while running 
Jack Dongarra's LINPACK benchmark.
                                   KFlops
Sun-3/50 (15MHz with 68881)           89           
Apollo DN4000 (25MHz)                140
MicroVAX II (VMS\D_floating)         140
80386/80387 (20MHz, 386-MATLAB)      232
Sun-386i (25MHz)                     198
Sun-3/260 (25MHz with FPA)           490
Sun-4                                730
Ardent Titan                        3614
Mac IIsi                             210

and, of course, 

Cray X-MP                          33000
