Abstract: CedarWhetstone is a translation of the famous Whetstone benchmark by H.J. Curnow and B.A. Wichman in Computer Journal 19, No 1, February 1976. It purports to test compiler optimization and exercises the floating-point performance of the processor. The concomitant integer arithmetic benchmark is available in CedarDhrystone.

will load the program and commence execution automatically. All timing is performed internally. In the interest of consistency, no other significant programs should be running at the time the benchmark is performed. The WatchTool is excluded from this caveat since it only consumes about 2% of the cpu.
