    Program in linux to do LOTS of math (takes long time to complete)

    I'm running redhat 9.0. Anyone know of a program that just does lots of math or something, to take a long time, that could be used for testing on multiple computers?

    Look up the fractal generator contest. Those use plenty of math and take a while for large N. I know that *my* entries were written in standard C, so portability shouldn't be a problem.

    Then how'd you draw the fractals?
    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    With the standard defined character set and text file I/O.
