Budmark CPU Benchmark Results

Original benchmark by John Sokol (1998-2005) Updated with modern hardware: January 2026 Overview Budmark is a CPU benchmark based on brute-force searching for optimal error-correcting codes (ECC). The algorithm finds codewords with minimum Hamming distance 5, making it a pure integer/bit-manipulation workload that fits entirely in cache. All results use unoptimized compilation (-O0) to measure raw…
