DHRYSTONE(1)							  DHRYSTONE(1)

NAME
       dhrystone - integer benchmark

SYNOPSIS
       dhrystone

EXAMPLES
       dhrystone	   # Run the dhrystone benchmark

DESCRIPTION
       Many years ago, a floating-point benchmark called whetstone was popular
       for benchmarking FORTRAN	 programs.   Nowadays,	an  integer  benchmark
       called dhrystone is widely used for benchmarking UNIX systems.  This is
       it.  Be warned, however, that dhrystone is entirely CPU bound, and goes
       blindingly fast on machines with high-speed caches.  Although this is a
       good measure for programs that spend most of their time in  some	 inner
       loop, it is a poor benchmark for I/O bound applications.
