NBench

This is just a copy of the port Uwe F. Mayer did in November 1997, based on the Bytemark benchmark from October 1995. Version 2.2.3. With some optimizations the performance can be greatly increased.

Installation

It is usually only 3 steps to get a result:

It will look like:

mk@mbp:~ $ wget kreier.org/docs/nbench.tar.gz
mk@mbp:~ $ tar xf nbench.tar.gz
mk@mbp:~ $ cd nbench-byte-2.2.3
mk@mbp:~/nbench-byte-2.2.3 $ make
mk@mbp:~/nbench-byte-2.2.3 $ ./nbench

Error messages under macOS - and fix

If you try to run the 5 steps under macOS the make command will throw the error ld: library not found for -lcrt0.o since static linking is not supported in macOS. Edit the file Makefile in the nbench folder with nano Makefile. Go down to line 25 and remove -s --static. Save with Ctrl+O and exit with Ctrl+X.

The new error is now from sysspec.c that ‘malloc.h’ is not found. This is because a condition in sysspec.h from line36 to 38 is wrong interpreted. Just comment these three lines with some // in front of them. After that the make compiles the working nbench program.

Data collection 2005 - 2020:

Sorted by Integer index (in reference to K6/233) since its most relevant to user experience. Pentium 90 is really old :)
