NAME
     mhz - calulate processor clock rate

SYNOPSIS
     mhz [-c]

DESCRIPTION
     mhz  calculates  the  processor  clock  rate and megahertz.  It uses an un-
     rolled, interlocked loop of adds or shifts.  So  far,  superscalarness  has
     been defeated on the tested processors (SuperSPARC, RIOS, Alpha).

OUTPUT
     Output format is either just the clock rate as a float (-c) or more verbose

     39.80 Mhz, 25 nanosec clock

     mhz is described more completely in ``mhz: Anatomy of a microbenchmark'' in
     Proceedings of 1998 USENIX Annual Technical Conference , June 1998.

SEE ALSO
