All,
A question: I wondered if results from the Byte Sieve of
Eratosthenes "benchmark" are publicly available anywhere, or if I
have to root out a copy of Byte Magazine? I googled for it, and found
nice C and Forth versions at
http://home.iae.nl/users/mhx/nsieve.html
and *some* results, but I'd sort of like to re-read the original
article and see what the results for all of the classic computers
they tested were.
The above URL cites Byte, Sept. 1981, pp. 180, and Jan. 1983,
pp. 283. Copyright law being what it is, I assume the articles are
still Byte magazine IP, but I'd think they could gain a fair amount
of publicity from having that article posted somewhere as a "teaser",
particularly if they link to some of the url's showing modern machine
performance. Can't find such a pointer on their site,
http://www.byte.com however. And the site itself is not encouraging.
