This page is about benchmarking all the TI programmable products and how good they are
or are not.  I think Texas Instraments is all about math capabilities.  Each Benchmark
is about processing math capabilities and the ability to manipulate numbers.

* Will not run due to 'Circular Definition' error. Problem arises from the fact 
  that many TI-product can not use the code logic of this test.  TI states this
  is a feature for code run-time safety.
  
♰ Error 15 Memory  - Code runs for a bit without error, then stops with error 
  during accumulation.

Benchmark #2
Example test of a intel 286 MS-DOS failing badly.
