I guess I was misguided by seeing tsunami referenced in the context of alpha, and I guess it is just that the scripts are set up for alpha so they are asking for tsunami. My understanding is that benchmark binaries are located on the disk that gets booted by ALPHA_FS and SPARC_FS. So, all these benchmark configuration files have a path to a binary which probably points to binaries on a booted disk image. I guess my question is, regarding the benchmarks provided for the FS mode, can I expect to find any of those binaries in the SPARC_FS disk image? Where can I find the source code for the benchmarks so I can figure out what they do and recompile them? Thank you.
