Version 0.3.3: Bugfix release

This release fixes a minor bug in the Makefile where binaries for float were not generated as I somehow confused it with short. The float binary probably won't run on modern hardware as the type is too small, but this was still a bug that had to be fixed.

Version 0.3.2: Bugfix release

Version 0.3.2 fixes two bugs, one affecting the memory limiter where the benchmark would continue past the intended limit by two trials, and one which caused very long filenames to become truncated at 80 characters rather than the intended 160.

For reasons currently unknown, the benchmark program is counting less memory than is actually used, which can cause more memory to be used than intended. This affects both the memory limiter and the program output. The cause of this behavior is unclear; it may be an unavoidable side effect related to the program's data structures. As a workaround, you may want to set the memory limit about 15-20% lower than the actual, intended limit.

Version 0.3.1: Documentation update

Version 0.3.1 updates the documentation to better reflect the memory limiting feature. In addition, the file length limit for the output file has been increased to 160 characters, and a few stylistic changes were applied to the code.

Version 0.3.0: Memory limiting support

This release of HI64 adds the ability to limit memory usage. The benchmark will stop when the set memory limit is reached.

The memory limit is specified as the first parameter to the benchmark executable—enter 0 or pass no parameters if you don't want to set memory limit. The output directory is now specified through the second parameter. See the README.MD file for more usage information.

Update for easier building and configuration

The 0.2.0 release makes it easier to configure and compile the benchmark. A Makefile has been added to ease compilation, and key compile-time options can now be set through the compiler and make command lines. See README.md for more detailed information about setting parameters at the compilation command line.

First stable release

This is the first stable release of HI64. It has been tested successfully under MinGW-w64 GCC 4.9.1 and should compile with any recent version of GCC, as well as with other C compilers. Additional features, such as the ability to limit memory usage, are expected to be added in future versions.
