- This might sound strange, but does anyone have PDP-8 assembly
- code for some smallish benchmark programs? I can write these
- myself, but I thought I might check to see if they already
- exist....
-
- I'm looking for things like the old Byte benchmarks (circa
- 1981) or the benchmarks used in the first RISC articles (e.g.
- Patterson/Sequin, Computer Magazine, Sept. 1982). Things
- like sieve, sort (quicksort, heapsort, etc.), string move,
- string search, ackerman, simple puzzle solvers, matrix
- operations, software floating point, etc. I'll be running
- these on a simulator, so I'll just initialize the memory, run
- the code, and look at the results in memory (that is to say,
- I can do with just subroutines for most of the simple stuff).

- Thanks,
