  benchmarking
         The best benchmark remains your own application. I assume you have profiled it and know         where it spends its time, and have optimised it where possible; running it will at least ensure         that the machine, operating system, and compiler exist, a factor often overlooked amidst         a profusion of numbers and promises.

favourite FAQQ:   quite frequently I have come accross the following book title, and   never know the complete set of author, title, who published it ....   the title is: 'Numerical Recipes'A:   Press, W.H., Teukolsky, S.A., Vetterling, W.T., Flannery, B.P.   Numerical recipes in FORTRAN: the art of scientific computing   Second Edition, 1992   Cambridge University Press, Cambridge   ISBN 0-521-43064-Xthose were the days...We were slightly worried when we discover the OS was written in whatappeared to be a dialect of Fortran II.  Internal evidence indicatedthat much of the OS was originally written by physicists at LLL;which possibly explains the use of Fortran :-)                               Geoff Lane's experience with Cyber205note on efficient algorithmsWe suspect it would take considerably longer than the age of theuniverse to be able to compute the latter result using the completeweight space method.                 Wybourne, B.G., 1994, Comput. Phys. Commun., 83, 332
