Here are some test results (stream_d) for a Sun SparcEngine ATx UltraIIi
system at 300Mhz:

Built with cc -fast (SC4.2)

-------------------------------------------------------------
This system uses 8 bytes per DOUBLE PRECISION word.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Array size = 1000000, Offset = 0
Total memory required = 22.9 MB.
Each test is run 10 times, but only
the *best* time for each is used.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Your clock granularity/precision appears to be 1 microseconds.
Each test below will take on the order of 58495 microseconds.
   (= 58495 clock ticks)
Increase the size of the arrays if this shows that
you are not getting at least 20 clock ticks per test.
-------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING -- The above is only a rough guideline.
For best results, please be sure you know the
precision of your system timer.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Function Rate (MB/s) RMS time Min time Max time

Worse than I would have expected, compared to an Ultra2.
