Why even bother with that? Just use gigaflops or something that is not
hardware dependent at all...
Ah, but which gigaflops?
Anyone else here old enough to remember Meaningless Indicators of Processor Speeds?
All gigaflops are not created equal, unfortunately. Wordlength alone can make a

Oh yes. My first boss used to rate CPUs in Atlas power

Hi all,
Thanks to all that have submitted timings. There are still plenty
of gaps to fill in and having multiple results for each machine is desirable.
My first draft of the benchmark page is at http://www.mersenne.org/bench.htm
Comments are of course welcome.
