Whetstone, developed in 1972, originally strove to mimic typical Algol 60 programs based on measurements from 1970, but eventually became most popular in its Fortran version, reflecting the highly numerical orientation of computing in the 1960s. ==Issues addressed by Dhrystone== Dhrystone's eventual importance as an indicator of general-purpose ("integer") performance of new computers made it a target for commercial compiler writers.

Dhrystone is a synthetic computing benchmark program developed in 1984 by Reinhold P.
Most of these, including the small code size and small data set size, were understood at the time of its publication in 1984.

Version 2.0 of the benchmark, released by Weicker and Richardson in March 1988, had a number of changes intended to foil a range of compiler techniques.
