Also, me and capo once came up with a cool way to benchmark cpus programmatically using a modified version of fibb and the following rules:
You have 2 number displays, 1 display shows the current fibb value and the other shows the amount of times fibb has overflowed.
every time you overflow, you must start counting from the beginning again obviously.
The benchmark would be recorded by examining how many cycles it takes to do x iterations of fibb overflow, and multiplying that by your clock speed. The lower the number the better.
this test shows basically how well a cpu can do maths operations while giving feedback to a user. It covers the basics pretty nicely i think.
Ya, that fib program is truly awesome. The slightest tweaks to the program or to the hardware can dramatically change the outcome of how many ticks it takes.
