30+ years ago I did a week’s “work experience” at the UK offices of Cray Research in Bracknell (and, shockingly, nobody had ever approached them before to do this).

I spent a couple of days with the software support team and was given an account on a UNICOS-running X-MP (hostname was either “forest” or “wind” - I specifically remember the second because the motd said “if you have problems with wind, please contact [redacted]” and that made my 16yo brain chuckle). Anyway, my benchmarking program was to calculate all the factorials up to 100!, and then repeat the process a lot. Fibbonacci, as given in the README, seems like more fun ;)

Hopefully you seldom broke wind while you were there.
