Subject: Accelerators for Mac II
One of our visiting researchers here at the university has a Mac II
and wishes to accelerate his Mac II as much as possible. He is doing
numerical work (solid-state monte carlo Molecular Dynamics -- if you
really want to know). Yes we are already using the Cray-2 here at the
university for the brunt of the research, but his company is willing
to spend a large amount of money (if justifiable) on upgrading the Mac
to allow it to do smaller scale calculations. I was wondering if
anyone knew more about the 88000 motorola cpu board from Tektronics.
How fast is it? Is there a fortran or a C compiler for it? Does it
have adequate memory cacheing? Any other information on accelerators
-- DMA boards etc. would be nice to know about. Thanks for any help.
In addition any other accelerator information would also be greatly
appreciated.
