Introduced by Jack Dongarra , they measure how fast a computer solves a dense n by n system of linear equations Ax b , which is a common task in engineering . The latest version of these benchmarks are used to build the Top500 list, ranking the world s most powerful supercomputers ref name top500 . The aim is to approximate how fast will a computer perform when solving real problems. It is a simplification, since no single number can reflect the overall performance of a computer system. Nevertheless, the LINPACK benchmark performance can ... ref .

The Canadian Benchmarks are a 12 point scale of task based language proficiency descriptors used to guide the teaching and assessment of ESL learners in Canada. Like the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines , the Canadian Language Benchmarks describe ESL learners successive levels of communicative achievement. The CLB s 12 benchmarks are divided into 3 parts Stage I Basic Proficiency Stage II Intermediate Proficiency and Stage III Advanced Proficiency. Each benchmark is then described in terms of can do statements or Performance Descriptors . For example, the following is the summary descriptor for Benchmark 5 Initial Intermediate Proficiency for writing. 1 Learner demonstrates initial ability in performing moderately complex writing tasks. 2 Can effectively convey an idea, opinion, feeling or experience in a single paragraph. 3 Can write short letters and notes on a familiar topic. 4 Can complete extended application forms. 5 Can take simple dictation with occasional repetitions at a slow to normal rate of speech. 6 Can reproduce in writing simple information received orally or visually. 7 Can write down everyday phone messages. 8 Can complete a short routine report usually on a form on a familiar topic. etc. Because such descriptor systems focus on the successful completion of communicative tasks, rather than on a strict emphasis on correct linguistic forms, they have quickly gained in popularity among proponents of task based ... and Immigration Canada established the National Working Group on Language Benchmarks. In November 1996, the group published the Canadian Language Benchmarks Working Document . This working group was eventually to become the Board of Directors of the Centre for Canadian Language Benchmarks. The CCLB received its charter as a non profit agency in March 1998.

The Mozart Programming System is a multiplatform implementation of the Oz programming language Oz programming language developed by an international group, the Mozart Consortium, which originally consisted of Saarland University , the Swedish Institute of Computer Science , and the Universit catholique de Louvain . Mozart excels in creating Distributed computing distributed , Concurrent programming language concurrent applications, because it makes a network fully transparent. It supports GUI applications through Tcl Tk integration. Because it runs applications in a virtual machine , applications can be developed once and run on many different platforms. However the execution speed of the Mozart Compiler version 1.4.0 implementing Oz 3 is very slow. On a set of benchmarks it is on average about 50 times slower than the gcc compiler for the C language, solving the benchmarks tasks. ref http shootout.alioth.debian.org u32 which programming languages are fastest.php?calc chart&gcc on&oz on The Computer Language Benchmarks Game ref References Reflist See also Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming a book which uses Oz and the Mozart Programming System for its examples Alice programming language Alice a concurrent functional constraint programming language early versions of which ran on the Mozart Oz virtual machine, allowing interfacing between Alice and Oz code External links http www.mozart oz.org The Mozart Programming System http www.mozart oz.org home doc mozart stdlib wp qtk html index.html QTk for Mozart GUIs Category Functional logic programming languages Category Logic programming languages Category Concurrent programming languages compu lang stub es Mozart inform tica ja Mozart ru Mozart tg Mozart ... more details
