Has anyone ever thought of developing a Sage benchmark, so allowing different hardware to be compared in running Sage? If people are setting up a Sage server, it would be sensible they have some idea of the performance of various hardware.
Mathematica has one built in, which tests 15 things. Data Fitting Digits of Pi Discrete Fourier Transform Eignenvalues of a matrix Elementary functions Gamma function Large integer multiplication Matrix Arithmetic Matrix Transpose Numerical Integration Polynomial expansion. Random number sort Singular Value Decomposition Solving a linear system. Data is referenced to a 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 running XP. Obviously the code for that is propriety. But there are Mathematica benchmarks around, the most popular of which seems to be http://www2.staff.fh-vorarlberg.ac.at/~ku/karl/mma.html The license for the latter is not stated, so I just emailed the author to ask if he would release it under the GPL.
