I am looking for advice on what machine we should
buy. Any and all advice is welcome. Our lab runs
on Suns. Occasionally, a user has a big job that
takes days to run on the Suns. We need a fast machine
for these people to run on. All our applications are
different so a special-purpose DSP engine or the like
will not do.
The machine we are looking for
might have specs something like this:
50-60 (Vax 11/780) MIPS
10-20 times Sparc floating point (20 MFLOPS?)
128MB memory
Small disk
Runs "BSD flavor" Unix
Priced to Sell ($50-100K?)
Any ideas? Convex? Trace?
All replies greatly appreciated -- I have no idea
what is available.

We are not in the business of giving endorsements, but you should know that the Multiflow Trace is "out of business" as are quite a few other companies.
