hello.c benchmark run on all 21 vendors ar usenix

[rcm at tropix.UUCP]

ical to remove the users
from it, the Sel, the Amdahl, and the Data General MV8000, so they are not
quiescent, as the others were.
	The objective was to compare the turn-around time when programming
each of the machines, and includes the effect of additional complexity 
in the compiler due to different instruction sets.


main(){printf("Hello world!\n");}

Details:
	Masscomp has 2 68k cpu's in their system and a 4k block size in their
filesystem.  It is also possible to make contiguous files in their system,
speeding loading as if all such files were "sticky" bitted.  Their disk is
an ampex capricorn 30ms 160Mb.
	Spectrix was using a CDC wren and 1 1/8 Mb of ram.
	The 286 was using a 35Mb 8" priam (35ms avg seek time.)
	Cosmos was the only 68k which used the 68451 memory management chip
from Motorola, although Motorola was talking about a VME10 unit with that
memory manager out with system V in October.
	The HCR port on the 16k was the only system observed with job control
at the show.  Lmc had slowed down the cpu to deal with rug static at the show.

	Please try this trivial benchmark on your system if it is not one of
the ones mentioned and mail the results to me.  I'm especially interested in 
a selection of vaxen running Berkley 4.1, 4.1c, and 4.2 and System III and V,
and Eunice.  I'll summarize to the net all the results in two or three weeks.
