Command: dhrystone - integer benchmark
|
|
Syntax: dhrystone
|
|
Flags: (none)
|
|
Example: dhrystone # Run the dhrystone benchmark
|
|
|
|
Many years ago, a floating-point benchmark called whetstone was
|
|
popular for benchmarking FORTRAN programs. Nowadays, an integer
|
|
benchmark called dhrystone is widely used for benchmarking UNIX systems.
|
|
This is it. Be warned, however, that dhrystone is entirely CPU bound,
|
|
and goes blindingly fast on machines with high-speed caches. Although
|
|
this is a good measure for programs that spend most of their time in
|
|
some inner loop, it is a poor benchmark for I/O bound applications.
