It appears our 750 cannot postnews properly, so I am sending from ames-lm.
We cannot say anything public about C-2 performance. Cray is certainly
listening to this net.
The manuals for the Japanese machines are available and a limited number
are written in English. [Have you given any thought to learning Japanese?]
I have manuals to the Fujitsu VP-100/200. Just contact them. They have
impressive machines. You can probably try to get C-2 manuals in the near
future (try 1 year?). Cray is well aware of performance differences.
Consider all those machines in various families which have some performance
overlap.
I don't defend the C-2, but I don't throw rocks either (anymore).
A lot depends on the C-2 beyond the survival of Cray Research.
