Dhrystone

benchmark A short synthetic benchmark program by Reinhold

Weicker [email protected], [email protected],

intended to be representative of system (integer) programming.

It is available in ADA, Pascal and C.

The current version is Dhrystone 2.1. The author says,

"Relying on MIPS V1.1 (the result of V1.1) numbers can be

hazardous to your professional health."

Due to its small size, the memory system outside the cache

is not tested. Compilers can too easily optimise for

Dhrystone. String operations are somewhat over-represented.
