Thats all right. I wanted to have an evaluation framework such that I can develop a score so that I can rate a set of vendor equipment. Intent is to be able to develop a crieria for procurement. Thinking of this I thought about BogoMIPS, but is'nt suitable for the purpose. Dhrystone and whetstone are'nt valid tools for todays environment. SPECmark may be good but the following paragraph about it from wikipedia isnt encouraging: "In order to use a benchmark, a license has to be purchased from SPEC; the costs vary from test to test with a typical range from several hundred to several thousand dollars. This pay-for-license model might seem to be in violation of the GPL as the benchmarks include software such as GCC that is licensed by the GPL. However, the GPL does not require software to be distributed for free, only that recipients be allowed to redistribute any GPLed software that they receive; the license agreement for SPEC specifically exempts items that are under "licenses that require free distribution", and the files themselves are placed in a separate part of the overall software package." I was thinking of arriving at "some score" using a FOSS based tool, handy for anyone to find out his score and a third party to verify the same. Individual application scores viz: Databases; Webserver; Mailserver; Graphics etc are a matter of detail. Problem application at hand is a standard desktop benchmarking. anand _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
