These times are from a moderately loaded convex C-1XP (1985 vintage)

--------------------------------------
 Single precision appears to have 7 digits of accuracy
 Assuming 4 bytes per default REAL word
--------------------------------------
Timing calibration ; time = 88.60040 hundredths of a second
Increase the size of the arrays if this is <30
 and your clock precision is =<1/100 second
---------------------------------------------------
Function Rate (MB/s) RMS time Min time Max time
Assignment: 62.9030 0.1331 0.1272 0.1382
Scaling : 62.5127 0.1312 0.1280 0.1382
Summing : 64.4268 0.1938 0.1863 0.2067
SAXPYing : 64.4773 0.1926 0.1861 0.2063

--------------------------------------
 Double precision appears to have 16 digits of accuracy
 Assuming 8 bytes per DOUBLEPRECISION word
--------------------------------------
Timing calibration ; time = 155.416792631149 hundredths of a second
Increase the size of the arrays if this is <30
 and your clock precision is =<1/100 second
