cpu_rate


cpu_rate is a program written by Robert G. Brown intended to encapsulate a number of simple microbenchmarks of systems performance. It uses its own timing harness, which in turn uses the CPUs onboard cycle counter for direct timing where this is available. For example, it encapsulates a variant of the well known stream benchmark, as well as the venerable savage (trancendental) benchmark. This program is in the process of being rewritten yet again so that it will eventually be "easy" to add new code fragments to microbenchmark.
