cpuStones Description

The cpuStones application was designed to be a small program that was written to face a sort of funny war AMD Athlons vs Pentiums 4. I have looked around the net but I haven't seen anything that fits to my purpose. I want to sample the raw CPU processing power. So I have ressurrected the Dhrystones and Whetstones benchmarks from old sources that I found in the net. They sample exactly CPU processing power without being affected by RAM, video cards, OSs... I have made only few changes: - the samples are expressed in KiloXStones (i.e. stones/1000). IMHO Drystones & Whetstone (see the Results section for their description) are still covering most of the daily CPU usage. - I have engineered these tests to last x msecs. I repeat many 1000ms tests many times (alternating the sampling Dhry.., Whet..., Dhry...). This should be a problem for any prediction algorithm. - I have compiled it using Borland C++ Builder 6.sp2 with Pentium instruction set (i.e. without Intel or AMD specific optimizations). Drystones are representing the linear data processing (integral math, memory copy, strings, ...). Whetstones are representing the floating point math processing (used by 3D engines, calc. programs, ...).
