PAR_OPS(8)                          LMBENCH                         PAR_OPS(8)

NAME
       par_ops - basic CPU operation parallelism

SYNOPSIS
       par_ops [ -W <warmups> ] [ -N <repetitions> ]

DESCRIPTION
       par_ops measures the available parallelism for basic CPU operations,
       such as integer ADD.  Results are reported as the average operation
       latency divided by the minimum average operation latency across all
       levels of parallelism.

       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.
