Editing Khornerstone

In computer performance testing, '''Khornerstone''' is a multipurpose [[Benchmark (computing)|benchmark]] from Workstation Labs used in various periodicals such as ''[[UNIX Review]]''.

The benchmark consists of 22 separate tests, including public domain components (such as [[Sieve (benchmark)|Sieve]] and [[Dhrystone]]) as well as proprietary components. Since it contains proprietary components, the source is not [[free software|free]]. The results of the 22 tests are normalized, producing a result measured in "Khornerstones".<ref>{{
