A little benchmark program I wrote by myself in Turbo Pascal 7. I wrote it to create a benchmark that would run on 8086/8088 and 286 systems. The algorithm is quite simple as it only does a few mathematical calculations. Because there are some floating point calculations systems with a floating point unit/processor (FPU) installed will gain extra points. Because systems with an FPU installed score significantly higher than without FPU it's not really suitable for comparing systems with and without FPU. It's better to compare non-FPU systems with non-FPU systems.

I didn't use this benchmark for fast fifth-generation systems as it is a light-weight benchmark. Fifth-generation CPU's will get way too high scores and push away the scores of slow processors. This will decrease the form of the graphic/table.

My benchmark method

Just run the application in DOS-mode without any device drivers loaded.
