- There are several more or less sophisticated tests which cater for the
- variation between instruction sets. One is 'Dhrystone' (integer, memory),
- another is Whetstone.
-
- Sample approximate dhrystone figures are:
-
- Amiga 500 1000 (cc -O)
- Atari 1040ST 1000 (mwc cc -O)
- Amiga 3000 5500 (cc -O)
- Acorn A3000 6000 (in mode 0, 4000 in mode 15)
- Sparcst. SLC 16000 (cc)
- Acorn A5000 17000
- PC 486/33 MHz 25000 (gcc -O)
- SPARCstation II 32000 (cc)
-
- The dhrystone test fits into mosts caches, since it is quite small.
