I think we should get the biggest, baddest FreeBSD machines around
and submit lmbench results for them... Russell Carter, you there? :)

Hi-
All 900 or so of you have download lmbench in the past. I'm
writing, with Carl Staelin, a usenix paper about lmbench and I have to
give it to them in a week or so. I would really like it if you got the
latest and greatest and ran it on any hot machines you have sitting
around. And send me the results. When you run the benchmark it now
asks you if you want to mail back the results, please say yes. I would
like to have a wide set of results for the publication.
The paper will not be published until January of 1996. The
marketing folks at a different vendor have agreed to send me their
results of an as of yet unannounced machine provided that I not publish
them before their announcement. If you have access to unannounced
machines that will be announced by January, consider including those
results. I suggest that you mail me directly to make sure that I know
that your results are to be held back from the public until the paper
is published.
I thank all of you for your use and feedback about lmbench.
Your comments have helped make it a better tool.
Thanks,
--lm
P.S. Almost forgot. I stuck the latest on ftp.sgi.com:/pub/lmb.tgz. You
need gunzip to unpack it and rcs to build it, and perl to see the results.
If you have a linux box, all of the scripts for making fancy graphs work.
Cd to lmbench/Results and say "make ps", and then look at the ps files
in PS/*.
Drafts of the usenix paper are in ftp.sgi.com:/pub/lmbench.ps. Comments
welcome, remember this is an as of yet unpublished document....
