Non-random numbers (SIMH PDP-8)?

[Eric J Korpela]

Yeah, results are one of those things I've been meaning to add for
about 6 years.....  (A database to hold them, PHP to display them,
forms for submission.)  I'd like to do various benchmarks (Ahl, Sieve,
SETI at home, stream_d to measure memory bandwidth, disk_io speed, etc)
for a large variety of machines from the earliest computers to the
present in interpreted, compiled and assembly languages.  In my
copious spare time, of course.  Next time I go observing and am
waiting on exposures to complete I'll try to put some time into
developing it.

Blame David Ahl. :)

Thanks for the results, though!  Always happy to see them.
