NAME

       lat_ops - basic CPU operation parallelism

SYNOPSIS

       lat_ops [ -W <warmups> ] [ -N <repetitions> ]

DESCRIPTION

       lat_ops measures the latency of basic CPU operations, such as integer ADD.

       integer bit, add, mul, div, mod operations
              maximum parallelism for integer XOR, ADD, MUL, DIV, MOD operations.

       uint64 bit, add, mul, div, mod operations
              maximum parallelism for uint64 XOR, ADD, MUL, DIV, MOD operations.

       float add, mul, div operations
              maximum parallelism for flot ADD, MUL, DIV operations.

       double add, mul, div operations
              maximum parallelism for flot ADD, MUL, DIV operations.

BUGS

       This benchmark is highly experimental and may sometimes (frequently?)  give erroneous results.
