 | | In surveying, benchmarks are landmarks of reliable, precisely-knownaltitude, and are often man-made objects, such as features of permanent structures that are unlikely to change, orspecial-purpose " trig points ", whichare typically small concrete obelisks, approximately 3 feet tall and 1 foot at the base, set permanently into the earth. |
 | | In computing, a benchmark is the result of running a computer program, or a set of programs, in order to assess the relativeperformance of an object, by running a number of standard tests and trials against it. |
 | | Therefore, testswere developed that could be performed on different systems, allowing the results from these tests to be compared acrossdifferent architectures. |
