benchmarks

1. A reference mark that something is measured against. The original benchmarks are places on the workbench used to measure common lengths of material, such as lumber.

2. In surveying, a "bench mark" (two words) is a post or other permanent mark established at a known elevation that is used as the basis for measuring the elevation of other topographical points.

In computer and Internet technology, the term may have any of these meanings:

1) A set of conditions against which a product or system is measured. PC magazine laboratories frequently test and compare several new computers or computer devices against the same set of application programs, user interactions, and contextual situations. The total context against which all products are measured and compared is referred to as the benchmark.

2) A program that is specially designed to provide measurements for a particular operating system or application.

3) A known product with which users are familiar or accustomed to that other newer products can be compared to.

4) A set of performance criteria which a product is expected to meet.

Laboratory benchmarks sometimes fail to reflect real-world product use. For this reason, Eric Raymond defines a benchmark as "an inaccurate measure of computer performance" and cites the "old hacker's saying" that "In the computer industry, there are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and benchmarks."

Still, benchmarks can be useful and some companies offer benchmark programs for downloading or a benchmark testing service on their own site.

Benchmark test

A dumb test that has nothing to do with what you learned or studied for, for the past 2 weeks

i studied geometry for 2 weeks strait but instead of a geometry benchmark test they gave me a calculus benchmark test.

Benchmarktard

An asshole so consumed by benchmark results, that this is the only thing they know how to talk about, with no regard as to how no one else gives a shit.

That dude is such a benchmarktard, he does this ever fall when new GPUs launch!

bitchmade

To have bitchlike qualities or to follow the orders of a bitch. To be lower than a man.

Quit acting bitchmade! Hold your head up and get some balls between your legs.

benchmarks

Tests that require fiercest analysis of a system.

That AMD Benchmarked faster than the Pentium 4.
