<p>A benchmarking system for evaluating the performance of computers having a wide range of performance capabilities. The system includes a store containing a scalable set of tasks to be performed to produce a solution in ever-increasing degrees of resolution as a larger number of the tasks are performed. A time control (11) allots to each computer a fixed benchmarking interval in which to perform the stored tasks. Means (13) are provided for determining, after completion of the benchmarking interval, the degree of progress through the scalable set of tasks and for producing (28) a benchmarking rating (n) relating to the degree of progress for each computer. The inventive benchmarking system is provided in various computer architecture forms and languages and is designed to evaluate complete task performance, including input, set-up of equations, and computation and output of a solution. <IMAGE></p> |
