To run the benchmark, you should be able to say: cd src make results If you want to see how you did compared to the other system results included here, say make see Be warned that many of these benchmarks are sensitive to other things being run on the system, mainly from CPU cache and CPU cycle effects. So make sure your screen saver is not running, etc. It's a good idea to do several runs and compare the output like so make results make rerun make rerun make rerun cd Results && make LIST=<your OS>/*
