intended to be representative of system (integer) programming.
The current version is Dhrystone 2.1. The author says,
"Relying on MIPS V1.1 (the result of V1.1) numbers can be
hazardous to your professional health."
Due to its small size, the memory system outside the
cacheis not tested. Compilers can too easily optimise for
Dhrystone. String operations are somewhat over-represented.
