My limited testing has suggested that the x86 architectures FLOPS closely mirrors MHz. For instance, my 1.0Ghz Athlon just barely hits 1GigaFlop using some real benchmarking tools.
As for this little math code, it could hardly be called a serious benchmark, but it is a piece of "real world" code, and some chips' performances running it is interesting to compare.
From the other thread, I seem to recall that the fastest anyone was able to run it was about 1 1/2 minutes. That happened on a 450 or 500Mhz G4 and a 733Mhz Pentium III.
Wish someone had a 1.3/1.4 Ghz Athlon to try out.
Good luck, knighthawk, with the programming fun. Don't worry about the structures in the benchmark code. That's weird.
The ThreadWorker class is much nicer Objective-C code.
