A short synthetic benchmark program by ReinholdWeicker ,intended to be representative of system (integer) programming.It is available in ADA, Pascal and C.The current version is Dhrystone 2.1. The author says,"Relying on MIPS V1.1 (the result of V1.1) numbers can behazardous to your professional health."Due to its small size, the memory system outside the cacheis not tested. Compilers can too easily optimise forDhrystone. String operations are somewhat over-represented.Sources (ftp://ftp.nosc.mil/pub/aburto/).Results(http://performance.netlib.org/performance/html/dhrystone.data.col0.html).
