REM The infamous Savage benchmark REM REM This is a test of floating-point speed and accuracy. REM We don't have tangent or square root built-in, so we'll add a couple REM of functions to provide them. FUNCTION TAN(arg AS FLOAT) AS FLOAT TAN = SIN(arg) / COS(arg) END FUNCTION SQRT(arg AS FLOAT) AS FLOAT SQRT = arg ^ 0.5 END GLOBAL x AS INTEGER GLOBAL y AS FLOAT GLOBAL w AS INTEGER GLOBAL z AS INTEGER y = 1.0 REM Set the time to 0 DPOKE(14, -32767) DPOKE(39,0) REM Run the calculations FOR x = 1 TO 2500 y = TAN(ARCTAN(10.0^(LOG(SQRT(y*y)))))+1.0 NEXT x REM Grab the end time & print the results z = DPEEK(14) w = DPEEK(39) PRINT "\013\010", w AND 255, " minutes", w/256, " seconds", z PRINT "\013\010", y - 2500
