None for me :

                 BENCHMARK DATA
Hardware data working reasonably well on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Tru64,
IRIX and UNICOS, but not too well on Linux and poorly on *BSD
Any help to write code to gather data on other OS's would be appreciated

Hardware provider is unknown. Hardware platform is unknown.
Machine: i686. Sysname: Linux. Release: 2.4.20. Nodename: www2.
Number of CPUs supported by system is unknown. Number of CPUs online is 1.
CPU_type is unknown. FPU_type is unknown. Speed of CPU(s) is unknown MHz.
RAM is 1262 MB (On Linux+BSD systems, the memory is a little larger than this.)
L1 data cache is unknown kB; L1 instruction cache is unknown kB; L2 cache is unknown kB
Run times: T_sequential is 110 s. T_parallel is 112 s.
Speedup=T_sequential/T_parallel is 0.982. Efficiency=Speedup/N_cpus is 0.982
PASS: benchmark.test
======================
All 85 tests passed
(5 tests were not run)
======================

This was an Athlon XP 1466 Mhz cpu, Slackware 9.0
