Difference between Dhrystone benchmark, Whetstone benchmark and Linpack benchmark:

The differences between Dhrystone benchmark, Whetstone benchmark and Linpack benchmark are mentioned below:

Dhrystone BenchmarkWhetstone BenchmarkLinpark Benchmark
Dhrystone is a synthetic computing benchmark intended to be representative of system programming.The Whetstone benchmark is a synthetic benchmark for evaluating the performance of computers. Linpack benchmark is a method of measuring the floating point rate of execution of a computer by running a program that solves a system of linear equations.
The Dhrystone benchmark contains no floating point operations.Wheatstone benchmark attempts to measure the speed and efficiency at which a computer performs floating-point operations.Linpark benchmarking gives users an idea of the time it would take a machine to solve complex problems in linear algebra...
