- NISTLIB/NBSLIB -- the mail server daemon
- It exists from an ONR project of indeterminate origin.

- includes LLNL loops (aka Livermore Loops, Livermore Fortran Kernels (LFK),
- NAS kernels, Los Alamos benchmarks, parcbench, whetstone, dhrystone,
- mendez, and many others
- no results -- they do not wish to get sued.
-
-
- Reviews of various benchmarks:
-
- LFK, Livermore Fortran Kernels, Livermore Loops, MFLOPS.
- Frank McMahon's program is one of the more rigorous.
- A personal favorite in some ways.
- Problems include the sheer volume of information.
-
-
- There are 14 and 24 loops versions. The 24 loops version is the
- "official one." Do not trust vendors bearing 14 loop results.
- Frank has decided that the output of his programs goes back into the
- program in a Comment form. This helps with the database communication problem.
-
-
- David Bailey's NAS Kernels.
- Uses higher order kernels than either Dongarra and McMahon.
- Uses trig functions which can behave in strange ways.
- Requires the use of 64-bit arithmetic.
- Has interesting consequences for DOUBLE PRECISION COMPLEX types.
- These programs are less portable than the less complex loops.
- One advantage is an attempt to measure compiler differences.
- There is an optional Level which people may code to improve optimization.

- CMG is concerned with all aspects of computer system measurement
- and capacity planning. CMG has an annual meeting in North America.
- This year's meeting is in Reno (Bally's Grand), Dec. 7 - 11, 1992.
-
- CMG can be contacted at (312) 527-6652 FAX: 312 527-6656
- 401 North Michigan Avenue
- Chicago, IL 60611-4267
-
- CMG has had a definite bent toward large IBM mainframe systems
- but that has been changing. It also has a bend toward system tuning.
