                                WHETSTONE

    One of the first and very popular benchmarks, the  WHETSTONE  was
    originally  published  in 1976 by Curnow and Wichman in algol and
    subsequently translated into fortran. This synthetic mix of  ele-
    mentary  Whetstone  instructions is modelled with statistics from
    about 1000 scientific and engineering applications. The WHETSTONE
    is  rather  small  and, due to its straigthforward coding, may be
    prone to particular (and unintentional) treatment by  intelligent
    compilers.  It  is  very sensitive to the transcendental and tri-
    gonometric functions processing, and completely dependent on fast
    or  additional  mathematic  coprocessor.  The WHETSTONE is a good
    predictor for engineering and scientific applications. The source
    used here, carefully chosen from many versions in circulation, is
    run in single and double precision, usually with optimization on,
    and for 50 millions whetstone instructions.
