In looking at big computers, we came upon the Alliant FX/8. I know nothing
about these puppies, except that they are supposed to be fast, and that
they run Unix as their native OS. Does anyone out there have any
experience with them especially with respect to their integer scaler
performance compared with, say, the IBM 3090? How about a dhrystone
measure on them? What about reliability and customer service? What
version of Unix do they run? How good is the port? Etc., etc., Anyway,
thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
