Archive-name: plum-benchmarks
This is a simple set of benchmarks intended to give programmers timing
information about common C operations. See the Makefile for instructions;
basically, all you have to do is type `make', wait, and look at bench.out.
A table of results for some popular machines is included in bench.tbl.
For more information on the benchmark techniques and the philosophy
behind them, browse the file ARTICLE. Here's an excerpt from the article:
We are placing into the public domain some simple benchmarks with
several appealing properties:
They are short enough to type while browsing at trade shows.
They are protected against overly-aggressive compiler optimizations.
They reflect empirically-observed operator frequencies in C programs.
They give a C programmer information directly relevant to programming.
Enjoy!
