)Benchmarks are EDN 16 benchmarks modified for 32 bits. The benchmarks were
)coded in assembly code for each processor.
)
)The following EDN programs were used.
)
)Test E is a character-string search routine.
)
)Test F is a bit test, set, and reset routine.
)
)Test H is a linked-list insertion routine.
)
)Test I is a quicksort routine.
)
)Test K is a bit-matrix transposition routine.
