To provide a reference for uiucdes!richards first crude timings
of the 432, I ran similar runs on a pdp11/70.  Programs were main
routines written in C, and timings obtained from UNIX (tm)
per process accounting.

Statement (repeated 1,000,000 times)  CPU time     Statement Time
 
null                                     7.0 sec       ---------

z = x + y (All 32 bit integers)         15.1 sec        8.1 us
z = x * y         "                     58.2           51.2
z = x / y         "                   1:56            109.

z = x + y (All 32 bit floating point)   19.9 sec       12.9 us
z = x * y         "                     21.6           14.6
z = x / y         "                     26.7           19.7

z = x + y (All 16 bit integers)         11.1 sec        4.1 us
z = x * y        "                      15.1            8.1
z = x / y        "                      19.4           12.4

Sorry that soo much data is provided, but simply comparing a
32 bit machine performing 32 bit arithmetic with a 16 bit machine
performing 32 bit arithmetic can be misleading.

An important difference between richards data and the above is the
time required to execute the null statement; i.e., the loop code.
That is a measure of the ADA compiler as well as a measure of the
machine.
