| | command-line calculations using bc - Basically Tech |
 | | So dual Opteron, 1.6 GHz, but bc appears to be single threaded, so only one CPU is used, but my streaming hurricanefm.com kaffeine session w/ goom visualization running mostly on the other CPU continued uninterrupted. |
 | | I'd discovered bc based on a chance comment I read somewhere, but hadn't used it a lot and hadn't discovered the scale or i/obase options, so found it rather limited, particularly for division. |
 | | Trying to do benchmarks using BC is pretty fruitless, as BC's performance is highly dependant on a number of factors, like which version of source, what architecture, and what optimizations switches were used when it was compiled. |
