Expected peak processing rate

As discussed in lecture, the peak processing rate you should expect to see should be approximately one-half to two times the clock speed. To put the results of your runs below in context, have ready for the grader the clock speed of the processor on which you did your runs. You may know this directly if you are working on your own machine. Or, if you are running linux, you should be able to find it on the line ``cpu MHz'' in the file /proc/cpuinfo.
