This is a file I use to collect the assembly time of a selected subset of the AS test suite. It might give you a rough estimate of the performance you may expect from your machine. The times are the wallclock times AS prints itself, measured three times, averaged and rounded to 1/100's of seconds. As system overhead goes into these times, memory size and disk speed play a role, so do not quarrel if the results you get vary by a few percent... Furthermore, I sometimes manage to make AS itself a bit faster, what furtherly distorts the results... the fresher the measuring is (see last column), the more accurate a value probably is. When measuring, assure that your machine is otherwise unloaded and all the files are on a local filesystem (if possible)! Speed of screen output is also an issue, so it may not be a bright idea to do the tests on a Sparc console in single user mode... Optimization is the highest available, with some CPU-specific optimi- zations (e.g. -m486) ...

The index numbers at the end of the lines can be calculated with the following HP28 program: << 359.52 SWAP / ROT 65.12 SWAP / ROT 33.52 SWAP / + + 3 / >> whereby the last value is the second last divided by the clock frequency. Non-UPN-wheenies may also use the freshly built AS to assemble the 'marks' assembler program in this distribution. You have to find out the rest for yourself ;-) I calculated this weighed ratio to get a unique number to sort the list; there is so far no special name for this measure. Call them ASstones, ASmarks, SPECas or whatever you like ;-)
