-+ .Os
-+ .Sh NAME
-+ .Nm hint
-+ .Nd scalable benchmark for CPU and memory
-+ .Sh SYNOPSIS
-+ .Nm hint
-+ .Sh DESCRIPTION
-+ The program
-+ .Nm
-+ reveals many aspects of computer performance: operation speed,
-+ precision, memory bandwidth, and usable memory size. HINT measures
-+ "QUIPS" (QUality Improvement Per Second) as a function of time. "Net
-+ QUIPS" is a single number that summarizes the QUIPS over time.
-+ .Pp
-+ As provided,
-+ .Nm
-+ tests double-precision floating point arithmetic. The original source
-+ can be re-compiled to test other data types (such as long integers).
-+ The original source should be available directly from
-+ .Pa ftp://ftp.scl.ameslab.gov/pub/HINT/ .
-+ See
-+ .Pa http://www.scl.ameslab.gov/Projects/HINT/
-+ for more information on HINT, including technical reports and an
-+ on-line database of HINT results.
-+ .Pp
-+ The output of
-+ .Nm
-+ is a file in the directory
-+ .Pa data
-+ named
-+ .Pa DOUBLE
-+ which contains five columns:
-+ .Bl -enum
-+ .It
-+ Time
-+ .It
-+ QUIPS
-+ .It
-+ Quality
-+ .It
-+ Subintervals
-+ .It
-+ Memory Used
-+ .El
-+ .Pp
-+ The first two columns are used to produce the QUIPS graph. The third
-+ and fourth columns are Quality and subintervals. These columns can be
-+ used to check for loss of quality due to insufficient precision and
-+ poor choices of which rectangle to split. The fifth is useful for
-+ finding the sizes of memory regimes, like where primary cache
-+ saturates or where virtual memory is first invoked.
-+ .Pp
-+ The file is set up in a format suitable for
-+ .Xr gnuplot 1
-+ or similar plotting packages. QUIPS graphs should be plotted on a
-+ semi-log scale with log of time as the horizontal axis and QUIPS as
-+ the vertical axis. The following gnuplot commands would be suitable to
-+ display the QUIPS graph from the file
-+ .Pa data/DOUBLE :
-+ .nf
-+
-+ set logscale x
-+ plot "data/DOUBLE"
-+
-+ .fi
-+ QUIPS vs. memory use can also be plotted to reveal memory regime sizes,
-+ by using the following
-+ .Xr gnuplot 1
-+ command:
-+ .nf
-+
-+ plot "data/DOUBLE" using 5:2
-+
-+ .fi
