I just got the latest benchmark figures for the new HP9000/700 series (aka "The Snake" series) workstations. While the agreement I made with HP forbids me to disclose them I can say that they are extremely impressive. For comparison with other top boxes I would appreciate MFLOPs (and prefreably also SPECMark) ratings for high-end IBM, MIPS, DEC and other fast workstations as well as low-end Crays; SPARCstations etc. are too slow to be interesting in this comparison. Please e-mail to bt@irfu.se. Thank you. Bo

Please e-mail to bt@irfu.se. One of our contractors is reporting 160 MFLOPS on an AMT DAP 610. Of course, MFLOP ratings are application dependent: this was achieved for signal processing algorithms utilizing 3-D FFTs. We're finding the AMT hardware to be an inexpensive way to beef up our VME platforms.
