Goals for each release:
*<b><font style="font-size:100%"> 0.1 Run Optimize and run a benchmark program specifically designed to make use much of <code>glibc</code></font></b>
Any packages compiled for the beagleboards can be installed without optimization. So far, in the case of <code>cdot-beagleXM-0-3</code> packages are compiled without it. In order to make use of ARMv7 architecture features, editing the <code>CFLAGS</code> to use <code>arm</code> optimization options will let the compiler attempt to improve the performance and/or code size of the program.
<b><font style="font-size:100%">Reasons for using Dhrystone</font></b>
*ARM® recognizes the program and uses it as a performance attribute of their processors. *Dhrystone provides a more meaningful MIPS (Million Instructions Per Second) because results are compared to a reference machine. *Dhrystone numbers reflect the performance of the C compiler and libraries more so than the performance of the processor itself. (considered as a weakness of the program)
