I have not used the speed command much, but it looks like it is designed to test the number of iterations which can be done in a given time period, such as 10 seconds.
In your example below, 1310 is the number of iterations of 1024-bit private RSA keys. I've listed example output I get on a linux virtual machine and in Windows (both 32-bit), using different optimization rules and compilers for OpenSSL 1.0.0 Beta2. Hardware is a P4 3GHz and 1.5 GB RAM. Linux CentOS VM: Doing 1024 bit private rsa's for 10s: 2959 1024 bit private RSA's in 9.76s Doing 1024 bit public rsa's for 10s: 57760 1024 bit public RSA's in 9.78s Windows XP Host: Doing 1024 bit private rsa's for 10s: 3185 1024 bit private RSA's in 9.83s Doing 1024 bit public rsa's for 10s: 55288 1024 bit public RSA's in 9.91s As you watch the output of the command, you see that the time period is fixed and the number of iterations is the benchmark. On a faster machine I would get more iterations. I don't see any options to set either the time or number of iterations for a given test. You can always recompile the speed source code in apps/speed.c to test whatever time period you like. --Will > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org > [mailto:owner-openssl-us...@openssl.org] On Behalf Of jimmy_moh > Sent: Friday, September 04, 2009 7:33 AM > To: openssl-users@openssl.org > Subject: RE: speed command in openssl.exe > > > thanks will > > while using the speed command is there any option to specify > the number of iterations,,,? > > and for RSA am getting the below message.. > > "Doing 1310 1024 bit private rsa's : 1310 1024 bit private > RSA's in 12.86 s" > > here the number "1310" is the iteration right..? > > > Will Bickford wrote: > > > > 1,310,720 times means it ran 1.25 x 1024 x 1024 times (iterations). > > > > The total time taken was 11.17 seconds.
