Lines: 26 In-reply-to: jimm@amiga.UUCP's message of 12 Jan 90 19:36:24 GMT The response I've received concerning my request for benchmark object oriented programs indicates a misunderstanding. I am gathering OO programs (again, small to medium size stand alone) to test a system we at MITRE are developing that automatically parallelizes OO programs for message-passing multicomputers. I am not looking for examples chosen for their parallelizability - that would skew the test results. I guess my use of the term "benchmark" was slightly inappropriate, since it suggested that the programs would be used in timing tests. This is not the case, although I wonder why I have to justify myself this way. Again, any programs and/or reference to books/articles of programs would be appreciated.
