- Fhourstones
Fhourstones is an integer benchmark that efficiently solves positions in the game of
Connect-4.Available in both ANSI-C and Java, it is quite portable and compact (under 500 lines of source), and uses 50Mb of memory.The benchmark involves (after warming up on 3 easier positions) solving the entire game, which takes about ten minutes on contemporary PCs.
Fhourstones was named as a pun on
Dhrystone .(dhry sounds exactly like drei, German for three, so fhourstones is like dhrystone++)External links
