pystone

[Magical Penguin]

pystone is an awesome little benchmark that usually ships with Python. On my Ubuntu system it's found in the package libpython2.7-stdlib.

The program is located at /usr/lib/python2.7/test/pystone.py

Can you add it to Linux-Bench?

Thanks!

@Magical Penguin do you have any more comparisons/ information on how to run this?

Here is from the D-1587

$ python /usr/lib/python2.7/test/pystone.py
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.411704
This machine benchmarks at 121446 pystones/second

Here is from the quad core HTTP file server VM that is hosting files.linux-bench.com:

$ python /usr/lib/python2.7/test/pystone.py
Pystone(1.1) time for 50000 passes = 0.174584
This machine benchmarks at 286395 pystones/second

Do you happen to have any comparisons or ideas on how to run this?

Hi Patrick... I'd just compare the pystones, with the larger number being better.
