	Groundspeak - Benchmark Hunting Home Page
		A benchmark is a point whose position is known to a high degree of accuracy and is normally marked in some way.
		The position of a benchmark with "scaled" coordinates was derived by a human in an office by estimating the location of the mark on a topographic map with a scale (ruler).
		Since the Groundspeak benchmark database was obtained from the NGS in the year 2000, newer benchmarks and recent reports on older marks will not be visible here in Groundspeak's copy.

	Subject benchmark statements
		QAA has worked closely with the sector to produce a qualification benchmark for Foundation Degrees, which is not specific to any particular discipline but sets out a generic framework for Foundation Degrees that serves as a reference point for use in programme design, delivery and review.
		QAA will remain responsive to requests for M level subject benchmark statements in particular disciplines where the case for a new subject benchmark statement is clear and substantiated.
		New subject benchmark statements are developed through the Recognition scheme for subject benchmark statements (the Scheme) which seeks to ensure that criteria relating to subject sufficiency and distinction are met.

	Java pulling ahead? Java versus C++ benchmarks
		This article surveys a number of benchmarks and finds that Java performance on numerical code is comparable to that of C++, with hints that Java's relative performance is continuing to improve.
		Several years ago these benchmarks showed java performance at the time to be somewhere in the middle of C compiler performance - faster than the worst C compilers, slower than the best.
		These benchmarks were updated with a more recent java(1.4) and gcc(3.2), using full optimization (gcc -O3 -mcpu=pentiumpro -fexpensive-optimizations -fschedule-insns2...).

	Nine Language Performance Round-up: Benchmarking Math & File I/O - OSNews.com
		This article discusses a small-scale benchmark test run on nine modern computer languages or variants: Java 1.3.1, Java 1.4.2, C compiled with gcc 3.3.1, Python 2.3.2, Python compiled with Psyco 1.1.1, and the four languages supported by Microsoft's Visual Studio.NET 2003 development environment: Visual Basic, Visual C#, Visual C++, and Visual J#.
		The benchmark tests arithmetic and trigonometric functions using a variety of data types, and also tests simple file I/O. All tests took place on a Pentium 4-based computer running Windows XP.
		I then re-ran the Python benchmark with the Psyco just-in-time compiler to see if we could combine Python's spectacular readability and rapid development with the speed of a compiled language.

	Benchmarking and Best Business Practices \| Business.com
		Step it up with professional benchmarking services If you business is already large or part of a complex industry with lots of geographic and supplier variables, consider hiring a consultant for one-off review.
		Financials are a big part of the picture, at least early on, but benchmarking extends to industrial policy, human resources, pay scales and dozens of other, industry-specific barometers.
		If you find that a benchmarking of your financials works well once, consider scheduling a second or third review during the year to sort out flukes and seasonal bumps.

	State sets four-year graduation benchmark - The Boston Globe
		All Massachusetts public high schools must graduate at least 55 percent of their students in four years, according to a benchmark approved yesterday by the state Board of Education despite the concern of some members that it was too low.
		The board unanimously set the standard well below the state average of nearly 80 percent to give struggling schools in cities such as Boston, Lawrence, and Chelsea time to improve.
		Board chairman Christopher R. Anderson said his initial reaction also was that the benchmark was pretty low.

	Mindcraft Redux
		As of February 2001, performance on the SAP database benchmark on a 4 CPU machine is dramatically better with 2.4 compared to 2.2.
		Also, Mindcraft's April 13th press release neglected to mention that Microsoft sponsored the Mindcraft benchmarks, that the tests were carried out at a Microsoft lab, and that Mindcraft had access to the highest level of NT support imaginable.
		Mindcraft proposed repeating the benchmarks at an independant testing lab to address concerns that their testing was biased, but they have not yet addressed concerns that their conclusions about Linux kernel support are biased.

	The Java Faster than C++ Benchmark
		I don't know which of these were used in the original benchmarks, but from my quick experimenting, the numberless ones generally ran faster than their numbered counterparts.
		I have seen both benchmarks that show GCC producing faster code than Visual Studio's VC++ compiler, and benchmarks showing the opposite.
		I don't have an automated means of building and benchmarking these things (and the scripts that came with the original shootout didn't run for me).
