What ever happened to the original Dhrystone
tests? Since those
were designed for VAXen (era) systems, running them on a modern
emulator may give some apples to apples comparisons between the real
big iron and So we're looking at 29 times faster.
About 200Mhz increments on x86 CPU's a decade ago KLH10 was supposed
to be about 1x the speed of a PDP-10, do a 1Ghz CPU at that time was
supposed to be about 5x.
I know Jerome Fine should have some #'s on PDP-11 emulation.
I really should finish getting VMS up and running under SIMH on my
late-2010 2.4Ghz 8-core Mac Pro. If you're getting 29x on a laptop,
that's one seriously usable VAX.
