Description CliBench is a suite of synthetic benchmarks
It includes the following benchmarks. They are partially self developed or rewritten industry standard benchmarks.
Dhrystones: An industry standard benchmark which is an indicator for integer performance Whetstones: An industry standard benchmark which is an indicator for floating point performance. Eight queens problem: A famous algorithm that depends on the latency time of the CPU. (The longer the pipeline, the bigger the latency time) Matrix operations: By calculating matrices you'll get a sign for the CPUs level 1 performance. Number Crunching: Raw integer performance Floating point: Raw floating point performance Memory throughput: This shows the transfer speed from the CPU into the memory The hard disk's throughput and the CPU usage: The transfer speed between the memory and the hard disk. CPU usage tells you the amount of work the CPU has to do transferring this data.
