/* The Computer Language Benchmarks Game
 * https://salsa.debian.org/benchmarksgame-team/benchmarksgame/
 *
 * This benchmark uses ~line_length * sequence_lenth bytes from the
 * random number generator, and approaches the I/O limits of simple
 * write() calls from one thread.  It does this by exploiting the
 * periodicity of the random number generator.  Any language could pay
 * a similar startup cost and then issue these large system write, so
 * it's probably not terribly interesting as a language comparison
 * benchmark.  The calculations are simple, so approaching this number
 * should be a goal for any high performance implementation.  This
 * shows how close each other language and implementation gets to the
 * limit.
 *
 * perf stat
 *    452,094,945      cycles                    #    4.119 GHz
 *    512,589,831      instructions              #    1.13  insn per cycle
 *
 * Nearly all of that is system time.  Writing to /dev/null it almost
 * vanishes.  Parallel writes or making use of filesystem block
 * duplication could potentially let the kernel portion finish faster,
 * but the benchmark is to write to stdout, so this seems done.
