License: No license is stated by Netlib or by the collection's compiler. Quoted here under short-extract fair use for verification of the figures cited, on the assumption of no granted rights rather than of permission.
Usage: Dhrystone has no governing body and therefore no official result list; this collection, compiled by Aburto and hosted by Netlib since the 1980s, is the nearest thing to one. It is treated as tier B rather than as an official result for exactly that reason, so a figure taken from it alone stays provisional. Its value here is the column headings: the table separates version 1.1 from version 2.1 by construction, which is what makes a row citable at all under a metric that refuses a Dhrystone figure without a version.
