Summation based benchmark for calculators

[pier4r]

There are plenty of tests for calculators, some more organized, some less.

See http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/...i?read=700

or the ones collected in the wiki4hp. http://www.wiki4hp.com/doku.php?id=start&do=index (see the benchmark section).

Seeing the work of Eddie. http://www.hpmuseum.org/forum/thread-5047.html

I thought that when a benchmark includes a summation, like the savage benchmark a bit, but the savage benchmark uses the previous result to compute the next iteration. Such a benchmark could be generic enough for programmable and scientific calculators with summation abilities and could also include different instructions. While the 8 queens benchmark does not really scientific math functions.

I will try something when I have time.

Results in the post below.
