# The benchmarks/bytebench port

## bytebench-3.1 – BYTE magazine benchmark suite

## Description

    The BYTE benchmark suite tests several aspects of system performance.

    An article, which describes the concepts and helps understand the results
    can be found in the doc directory (/usr/local/lib/bytebench/doc if you use
    a PREFIX of /usr/local).

    This benchmark is quite prominent among Linux users, and there is a patched
    version available from some web suite, from where results are made available,
    too.

    Since they offer some results of non-Linux systems for comparison, they might
    be interested in OpenBSD/FreeBSD reports, too ;-)

    Quoting from "README.submittal" of the Linux version of this benchmark suite:

    % Please e-mail test results along with platform info to:

    % Included CPU info, speed, RAM, and host adapter and bus
    % info as well as any special compilation flags.
