The Classic Benchmarks are the first programs that set standards of performance for computers, These, with data introduced, are
1970 Livermore Loops Numeric benchmark for supercomputers
1972 Whetstone Floating point benchmark for minicomputers
1979 Linpack Floating point benchmark for workstations
1984 Dhrystone Integer benchmark for UNIX systems
Uploaded zip files for DOS, OS/2, Windows and tar.gz for Linux.
