Image compression/decompression on in-memory images based on the JPEG
facilities.
Like 129.compress, the common utility has been adapted to run out of
memory buffers rather than reading/writing files.
The benchmark application performs a series of compressions at differing
quality levels over a variety of images. The workload is taken from the
behavior of someone seeking the best tradeoff between space and time
for a variety of images.
Good opportunities to show off superscaler integer capabilities.
Rough estimates of some of the basic hardware level activities: CPI, I-
and D-cache activity, and TLB activity. This data is only useful for comparing
the '95 benchmarks, not for comparing against any particular hardware.
