<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)
