Benchmarking BASIC programs


Recommended Posts

As a lark, I'd like to run some classic BASIC benchmark programs on various Atari BASICs. Seeing as I don't have an Atari to run them on, I'll have to do this under emulation. Can anyone comment on the accuracy of the speed of the emulators?

 

I can imagine a case where the emu runs certain things very fast and others slower, but average out. Or alternately (and more likely) the emu speed is linked to frame rate. Both could potentially skew the results of a calculation-only task.

 

Also, which BASICs should I use for this? I was going to do BASIC A, B and C, as well as the OSS basics and Turbo BASIC. I wouldn't mind trying the two MS BASICs and others. Does anyone have a list of all BASICs on the Atari?

 

How about OS upgrades? Does anyone have emu-able images of OS's with the various upgrades applied?
