From owner-octave-sources at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Fri Mar 7 07:15:48 1997 Subject: benchmark for octave 2.0.5 From: Francesco Potorti` To: Octave users list , Octave source list Date: Fri, 7 Mar 97 14:15 MET Sorry if you receive multiple copies, I am writing to both help-octave and octave-sources. Since octave 2 is now available in binary distribution form and looks stable, I would like to upgrade the octave benchmark in order to get reference times relative to octave 2.0.5 for the Sun Sparc 10 / super 40, which I selected as the reference machine, in analogy with the reference used for the Spec95 numbers (suggestion by Rick Niles). So, if someone with a Sun Sparc 10 is willing to run the benchmark on an unloaded machine, I will send to them the benchmark modified to run under octave 2. Once I get the results, I'll code them inside benchmark.m and publish it, so people can run it on their machines and we can have an updated performance list of the machines Octave runs on. If someone has good reasons why we should change the reference machine, let us discuss them on octave-sources. -- Francesco Potorti` (researcher) Voice: +39-50-593203 Computer Network Division Operator: +39-50-593211 CNUCE-CNR, Via Santa Maria 36 Fax: +39-50-904052 56126 Pisa - Italy Email: F dot Potorti at cnuce dot cnr dot it
