Problem

Solutions: Dhrystones: The performance of a computer system is often evaluated by measuring its operational speed in a variety of different tasks. The Dhrystone benchmark program is used as a standard figure of merit indicating aspects of a computer system's performance in areas other than its floating-point performance (for instance, integer processes per second, enumeration, record and pointer manipulation). Since the program does not use any floating-point operations, performs no I/O, and makes no operating system calls, it is most applicable to measuring the performance of systems programming applications. The program was developed in 1984 and was originally written in Ada, although the C and PASCAL versions became more popular by 1989.
