What's new in SSBENCH version: ============================== Author ====== First version: 1998-02-24 Latest update: 2006-11-30 By Stefan Spaennare, Lund, Sweden E-mail: stefan@spaennare.se The benchmark can be found on the web-page: http://www.spaennare.se/ssbench.html Beta 1.08 (2006-11-30) ---------------------- The function of the programs FINDSTARS (findsmbf) and POLYFIT (polyfitf) is no longer a sectret. Updated information in the readme.txt file and this file. More information can be found on the web-page: http://www.spaennare.se/ssphot.html These changes do NOT affect the result of the benchmark test at all! Beta 1.07 (2005-10-09) ---------------------- Updated links and e-mail address and other changes in readme.txt, images.txt and this file. These changes do NOT affect the result of the benchmark test at all! Beta 1.06 (2002-12-12) ---------------------- 1. SSBENCH version for Windows XP/2000 added. 2. Random function in yahtzee.c changed from drand48() to ran2() from Numerical Recipes in C second edition. The reason for this is that drand48() is so slow in Windows XP/2000. Note, this affects the integer part result of the UNIX/Linux benchmark slightly (a few percent at maximum). The Windows version of the benchmark has this change from the beginning. 3. Void main() changed to int main() in all the programs to avoid annoying warnings during compilation. 4. The compilation scrips comp_gcc_linux and comp_egcs are removed from the UNIX/Linux version because they are obsolete. Beta 1.05 (1999-08-11) ---------------------- The following line is added to bresulti.c and bresultf.c: #include These changes do NOT affect the result of the benchmark test at all! Beta 1.04 (1999-06-25) ---------------------- New compile script "comp_egcs_linux" for the egcs compiler in Linux. The old "complinux" is renamed to "comp_gcc_linux". The other compile scripts are renamed to "comp_cc", "comp_gcc" and "comp_hp" Beta 1.03 (1998-06-25) ---------------------- Time measurement changed to work BOTH with UNIX and Linux (i.e. use CLOCKS_PER_SEC). The programs sss2tgau.c and fff2tgau.c works for UNIX and sss2tgal.c and fff2tgal.c works for Linux. Minor changes in readme.txt. These changes do NOT affect the result of the benchmark test at all! Beta 1.02 (1998-03-04) ---------------------- Probably the program ssei.c to calculate e = exp(1) doesn't work if n > 10^6 ! The new version check for this. This test is however not affected because n is only 1.2*10^5 here. Minor changes in readme.txt. These changes do NOT affect the result of the benchmark test at all! Beta 1.01 (1998-03-03) ---------------------- Minor changes in bresulti.c and bresultf.c. Minor changes in sss2tga.c and fff2tga.c. Minor changes in readme.txt. These changes do NOT affect the result of the benchmark test at all! ---------------------------------------------------- End of bnews.txt file.
