ELEFUNT test results under NS32000 Fortran V2. 5. 3 on the Sequent Balance. [Sequent Balance]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7204188
In January 1986 a Sequent Balance Computer was installed in the Mathematics and Computer Science Division's Advanced Computing Research Facility (ACRF). In July 1986 the system consisted of 4 processors sharing 8 megabytes of memory. This paper summarizes and analyzes the results of running various programs designed to test the arithmetic and the Fortran elementary and intrinsic function packages on that machine. The programs run include MACHAR and the ELEFUNT suite of transportable Fortran test programs from the Software Manual for the Elementary Functions by Cody and Waite (1980), the Fortran version of the arithmetic test program PARANOIA )Karpinski, 1985), and prototype programs from the nascent INTFUNT test suite for intrinsic functions. All tests were run using NS32000 Fortran V2.5.3 under the DYNIX V2.0.1 operating system (based on 4.2 BSD UNIX. 8 refs., 4 tabs.
