The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

Dhrystone

    A short synthetic benchmark program by Reinhold
   Weicker , ,
   intended to be representative of system (integer) programming.
   It is available in ADA, Pascal and C.

   The current version is Dhrystone 2.1.  The author says,
   "Relying on MIPS V1.1 (the result of V1.1) numbers can be
   hazardous to your professional health."

   Due to its small size, the memory system outside the cache
   is not tested.  Compilers can too easily optimise for
   Dhrystone.  String operations are somewhat over-represented.
