I'll have to go along with other comments, that using some ancient CPU seems odd, but then again, any baseline you use will end up being arbitrary anyway, so... whatever works.
As for "prime95", I think that was more a reference to Windows 95, and there was the service version, priment (or ntprime). Now that George is moving towards a unified version for either OS, something like winprime perhaps? Microsoft stopped using year #'s in their OS', to which other software companies that *had* adopted that practice are now also stopping, moving to plain version #'s or something else entirely. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:mersenne-invalid- > [EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Frank_A_L_I_N_Y > Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 4:39 PM > To: Mersenne discussion list > Subject: Mersenne: Reference Machine > > Anyone consider using a Cray as our benchmark? > > Also Anyone considering renaming prime95 considering it is 2002? > > Thanks Frank. _________________________________________________________________________ Unsubscribe & list info -- http://www.ndatech.com/mersenne/signup.htm Mersenne Prime FAQ -- http://www.tasam.com/~lrwiman/FAQ-mers
