So, week before last my parents and myself went up to visit my sister in London. She is getting married sometime next year (I’m unsure as to whether the date has been set yet or not), and wanted to take my mum wedding-dress shopping.

SSIBench is a parallel processing benchmark test tool and framework. It allows you to create your own benchmark routines using a simple structure. Written in perl, the tool by default runs through ten threads of 5 million calculations each. The whole point of the process is that it is multithreaded so that newer dual and quad core processors (CPUs) can be tested for their performance.
