Mistake in caculating Benchmark Average
There is a basic principal that you cannot average averages. The overall result for the benchmark should be calculated by dviding the sum of the target results by the sum of the baseline results. This is not the same as dividing the sum of the index results by 6. Changing the way this is calculated will give a more mathematically valid way of comparing performance from one host to the other.

Hi,
Is there a precompiled binary for Solaris 8 available?
I need to bench mark our Oracle server,
as we are upgrading from SFv880 to SFv890.
Both are fully loaded.
I can't find a sun machine that I can compile the software on.
Tks

sum(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands sum(1B)
NAME
sum - calculate a checksum for a file
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/sum file...
DESCRIPTION
sum calculates and displays a 16-bit checksum for the named file and displays the size of the file in kilobytes. It is typically used to
look for bad spots, or to validate a file communicated over some transmission line. The checksum is calculated by an algorithm which may
yield different results on machines with 16-bit ints and machines with 32-bit ints, so it cannot always be used to validate that a file has
been transferred between machines with different-sized ints.
USAGE
See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of sum when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
|Availability |SUNWscpu |
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
SEE ALSO
sum(1), wc(1), attributes(5), largefile(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
Read error is indistinguishable from EOF on most devices; check the block count.
NOTES
sum and /usr/bin/sum (see sum(1)) return different checksums.
This utility is obsolete.
