Abstract
With the advent of high speed computers, the digital processing of data became a common practice among many researchers. The recent trend among geophysical researchers has been to establish their own computer system by use of a minicomputer rather than time sharing of a larger system. In developing such a system, a question arises as to how reliable is the newly acquired computer system. A method of evaluating the performance of such a computer system is presented. The method consists of processing data of known characteristics and comparing the results. The quantities calculated include probability densities, higher order moments, spectra, cross spectra, and a coherency spectrum.Keywords
