I did this for my dissertation as I produced tens of thousands of test position logs for that. I believe that it does something similar to what I do today, which means that anything between 1.71 and 1.8 is treated as 1.8, 1.81 to 1.9 is 1.9. I am not _certain_ as I don't have any of the old files left, they were all lost somewhere around 96-97. And I might be wrong. But something tells me that all this was integer values in Cray Blitz's logs, which means that it would be convenient to compute speedup = something + roundup and truncate it as it was all done in integers. however, I won't bet my life that I did that as the "log eater" was written in 1987 while working on my dissertation. that is a _long_ time ago to remember some tiny detail inside the thing...
