In almost all cases, the individual tests are + the result of analysis and isolation of a customer's actual + performance problem. These tools can be, and currently are, + used to compare different system implementations from different + vendors. The tools have been and continue to be used by processor + designers. In several cases, the benchmarks have uncovered + previously unknown bugs and design flaws. lmbench includes an + extensible database of results from systems current as of late 1995. |
