Included Tests

Gzip: The standard compression package - also included in the SPEC CPU2000. A 64MB tar and 16MB binary are compressed and decompressed, using -1 and -9.

Bzip2: The standard compression package - also included in the SPEC CPU2000. A 64MB tar and 16MB binary are compressed and decompressed, using -1 and -9.

OpenSSL :The open SSL implementation - "openssl speed" is used to meassure the performance. (First only "make test" was used, but the data-set was too small and ICC-8.0 miscompiles the code, so "openssl speed" allows to get an indication how fast ICC is although it needs to be noted that the resulting binary is not fully functional ...)

GnuPG :The open Privacy Guard implementation. "make check" is used and the 64MB tar and 16MB binary are encrypted additionally.

libMAD : The open MP3 decoding implementation. Three .mp3's are used to measure the performance: Jazz (4.5M), OpenBSD release song for 3.4 (6.7M) and 3.5 (9.9M).

Ogg/Vorbis: To be implementated.

Botan: A quite modern C++ (utilizing templates) security library - "make check" is used to measure the performance.
