Thank you for downloading lsbench, we hope this will be a usefull program for many people who have been looking
for the perfect small multi-talented benchmark. It runs at the console for now and has several different tests
it can perform. lsbench uses about 64MB of memory and even less than that in disk space. 

The project has multithreaded capability, if you have dual core, dual cpu, HT, or any combination  
you can check if your compiler also supports this implementation by typing:

gcc -dumpspecs |grep fopenmp

you will get an output similar to this if it is supported:

root@drunkenfighting:/home/soul/lsbench-dev# gcc -dumpspecs |grep fopenmp
%{!fsyntax-only:%{!c:%{!M:%{!MM:%{!E:%{!S:    %(linker) %l %{pie:-pie} %X %{o*} %{A} %{d} %{e*} %{m} %{N} %{n} %{r}    %{s} %{t} %{u*} %{x} %{z} %{Z} %{!A:%{!nostdlib:%{!nostartfiles:%S}}}    
%{static:} %{L*} %(mfwrap) %(link_libgcc) %o    %{fopenmp:%:include(libgomp.spec)%(link_gomp)} %(mflib)    %{fprofile-arcs|fprofile-generate|coverage:-lgcov}    
%{!nostdlib:%{!nodefaultlibs:%(link_ssp) %(link_gcc_c_sequence)}}    %{!A:%{!nostdlib:%{!nostartfiles:%E}}} %{T*} }}}}}}
root@drunkenfighting:/home/soul/lsbench-dev#

Please note, no tangible benefit would come from adding cpu threading support to the memory benchmark 
part of the tests, and the compile, media, and compression tests are multithreaded as well in a preliminary 
fashion. Just use the supplied threading Makefile with:   make -f Makefile-threading. 
This will enable the threading in the C code for you.

enjoy.


ps.  if anyone can assist in setting up gnu auto build tools with this project let me know.
