Does anyone know about a machine "multimax" made by Encore in Mass, which runs lots of 32032's? Supposed to be 1.5 to 15 MIPS, 4.2 or SysV. Does it work? -- Larry McVoy ----------- Arpa: mcvoy@rsch.wisc.edu Uucp: {seismo, ihnp4}!uwvax!geowhiz!geophiz!larry "If you are undertaking anything substantial, C is the only reasonable choice of programming language" -- Brian W.

I don't recall that one, but Sequent Computer Systems exhibited the Balance 8000 (up to 12 32032's) and the Balance 21000 (up to 30) systems at the Uniforum in Anaheim CA last week. They ran an impressive benchmark showing the response time to an edit and compile while loading the systems with background tasks and with varying numbers of processors turned on. Ted.
