The Definitive Monash Bogomips Reference Table

Version 1.05 (Last updated a long long time ago)
------------
Thanks to everyone who has posted/mailed bogomips figures.  Here it is
for your edification the definitive bogomips table which should be
consulted in $1M+ hardware purchase situations 8-)  Totally un-Netscapafied,
in fact totally devoid of any HTML from the title on !!

Notes
-----
1. Wanted, bogomips for a Powerpc, RS6000's, SGI's etc ...
2. For a list of the most powerful computing sites in the world
   finger gunter@yarrow.wt.uwa.edu.au .
3. gcc is the preferred compiler. Please note if you use another.

IIPS
--------------------------------------------------------------
It's slower than a sleeping snail !!

It's Bogoiips, son of Bogomips. iips = Irrelevant IPS.

For the measurement of slower computing devices eg Sharp PC-3000's,
   HP calcs,  ZX81's, TRS-80's, apple II's.

It's simple, it's small (for those calcs with 32 bytes of RAM!),
and probably interpreted, for that extra level of inefficiency!!

The Problem : Count from 1 to 10000 (or more) in steps of one.  Divide  
              by the time this takes in seconds to obtain your iips rating.
              Can use any loop construct you like, though you should
              use the fastest you can, to do justice to the speed of your
              machine 8-).  
Timing      : The second hand on your watch will do.
Candidates  : Anything that runs an interpreted language,
              which cannot run bogomips out of the box.

The above are just guesstimate rankings.  You'll tell me
if I have blasphemed with any of these 8)  If you have a good feel for
any of the machines feel free to supply a guesstimate - it will be
tagged with a (g).

Emulators OK.
