Re: Stream FP Exception on OpenBSD on DEC Alpha Multia

I spoke too soon! It gave a FP exception with compiler flags "gcc -O3
stream_d.c second_cpu.c -o stream -lm" but worked when I backed off to
only -O . Jeez. I'll have to see what asm gcc is kicking out on
alpha. Anyways, here's the results on a DEC Multia with a 166MHz Alpha
AXP :

bash-2.05$ gcc -O stream_d.c second_cpu.c -o stream -lm
bash-2.05$ ./stream
-------------------------------------------------------------
This system uses 8 bytes per DOUBLE PRECISION word.

Array size = 2000000, Offset = 0
Total memory required = 45.8 MB.
Each test is run 10 times, but only
the *best* time for each is used.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Your clock granularity/precision appears to be 9999 microseconds.
Each test below will take on the order of 1420000 microseconds.
   (= 142 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.
