Benchmarks

[Berkley Shands]

I thought some sites on the net would like to see a different
benchmark ranking of some current machines...

	Berkley Shands

The following is a floating point benchmark used by our group
to rate CPU speed on a standard problem set in molecular
modeling. The data set is the Angiotensin Converter Enzyme Inhibitors.
The application is an in-house conformational search package
written in C. The Rotatable bond scan factor is 4 degrees.

Runtime summary of Constrained Search (CSR) V4.2 from The Center For Molecular
Modeling, Washington University - St. Louis, Mo.

Optimization level as indicated, single precision floating point
when available. Micro-VAX-II runs VMS 5.3-2, all others are running
some flavor of BSD or SYSV Unix. Single stream execution on multiprocessors.

The SPARC machines used an aproximate square-root. All others used the standard
system call. This is equivalent to a 20% speedup on SPARC machines.
