It was compiled with VAX C V2.0 and run under VMS V4.1 on the 780 and MicroVMS V4.1m on the MicroVAX II. Both system had the DECNET image running at the time that the benchmarks were run. The following C timer routine was used: struct tbuffer { int proc_user_time; int proc_system_time; int child_user_time; int child_system_time; }; struct tbuffer start_time; struct tbuffer stop_time; starttimer() { times(&start_time); }; stoptimer() { times(&stop_time); printf("\n\ncpu time in milliseconds %d\n\n", ((stop_time.proc_user_time-start_time.proc_user_time)*10) ); }; These were the results: Knight's tour on a 5X5 board: VAX-11/780 1.54 sec MicroVAX II 1.47 sec Knight's tour on a 6X6 board: VAX-11/780 39.73 sec MicroVAX II 38.52 sec Knight's tour on a 7x7 board: VAX-11/780 19 min 25.21 sec MicroVAX II 19 min 1.45 sec Dave Stanley Posted: Mon 19-Aug-1985 13:21 EDT To: RHEA::DECWRL::"net.micro.68k"
