	Hello all:

	I am looking for a non-trivial C++ benchmark/application
	similar to the Spec benchmarks to benchmark a processor that
	we are working on.

	Ideally, it would be non-device dependent using only the
	most rudimentary unix system calls (open, close, read, write, etc)
	run for a reasonable length of time (minutes) and produce an
	"answer" that could be verfied.  

How about using libg++?  The tests directory contains code which takes
a fair bit of time to calculate.  You can make the code arbitrarily
complicated.

Michael
