“It is a script that operates on a collection of files constituting an application program. The operations are intended to represent typical actions of an average user. The input to the benchmark is a source tree of about 70 files. The files total about 200 KB in size. The benchmark consists of five distinct phases: I MakeDir – Construct a target subtree that is identical to the source subtree. II Copy – Copy every file from the source subtree to the target subtree. III ScanDir – Traverse the target subtree and examine the status of every file in it. IV ReadAll – Scan every byte of every file in the target subtree. V Make – Complete and link all files in the target subtree.” Source: file:///afs/transarc.com/public/afs-contrib/doc/benchmark/Andrew.Benchmark.ps ftp://ftp.transarc.com/pub/afs-contrib/doc/benchmark/Andrew.Benchmark.
