Flannery, Saul A. Teukolsky, and William T. Vetterling, +Cambridge University Press, 1990, ISBN 0-521-35465-X. + +The MIPS rating is based upon the program run time (runtime) for one +iteration and a gcc 2.1 unoptimized (gcc -DUNIX) assembly dump count of +instructions per iteration for a i486 machine (assuming 80386 code). This +is the reference used. + +The maximum amount of memory allocated is based on the 'imax' variable in +main(). Memory size = (2000*sizeof(long))*2^imax. imax is currently set to +8, but this value may be increased or decreased depending upon your system +memory limits. For standard Intel PC CPU machines a value of imax = 3 must +be used else your system may crash or hang up despite code in the program +to prevent this. |
