Most CPU performance benchmarks that exist today are too broad and
contain too many variables. Many of these benchmarks are an average of
several other benchmark programs that are written in different source
code languages (C, C++, Fortran 77/90) that are then compiled with
different compilers that have different optimization settings per
benchmark.
The Opstone benchmark suite is fundamentally different from these
benchmarks. Each benchmark program in the Opstone suite is written
using the optimized version of Blue Sail Software's
C++ scientific computing template library
(SCTL).
All benchmarks are compiled with the latest stable version of the
GNU C++ compiler for the Linux
operating system. Each of these benchmarks is maintained as a
discrete test that is processed and analyzed separately in order to
evaluate the specific operational function.
Although certain integral components of a computer that work with the
CPU like the type and speed of memory system and the interconnecting
chipset, these benchmarks do not rely on the computer's hard drive or
graphics card in any capacity other than for saving and viewing the
output.
Blue Sail software is committed to achieving maximum performance on all
benchmarks in the Opstone suite. Any technical questions/comments are
welcome to send an email to
opstone@bluesailsoftware.com.
