                                DHRYSTONE

    The too much famous  and  unavoidable  DHRYSTONE  was  originally
    created by R.Weicker in ADA and in 1984 as a synthetic mix of in-
    structions modeled after a total of about  31  millions  instruc-
    tions  from  real  applications  in  many  different  high  level
    languages. It is re-written in C by R.Richardson then  posted  in
    Usenet,  hence  its  wide  popularity.  The DHRYSTONE is a rather
    small, thus compilable by any C  compiler,  and  fits  into  most
    caches,  thus exaggerating their effectiveness. It has many other
    notable attributes such as heavy emphasis on string manipulation,
    procedure  call, thus favorizing processors with fast string han-
    dling and call/return functions, no I/O operation, no system call
    and  no  floating  computation. The DHRYSTONE qualifies well as a
    good indicator of efficiency in development work,  especially  if
    done  in  C and in Unix. The DHRYSTONE used here, version 1.1, is
    run in four combinations: with and without optimization, with and
    without register and with loops=500000 for good accuracy.
