[net.periphs] Array processors for a 4.2bsd Vax?

roy@phri.UUCP (Roy Smith) (10/11/85)

	We're looking for an array processor to hook up to our Vax-11/750,
running 4.2bsd.  The last time I looked (about a year ago, when we were
preparing a grant proposal), the only real choice was Floating Point
Systems hardware with Peter Berens's Apunix software.  It now looks like
we're going to be funded and we want to know if any other companies have
gotten into the act since then.

	To give you some idea of what we want, we had previously settled on
an FPS 5205 which is a 12 MFlop, 36-bit machine.  We have something like
$50-75k budgeted for hardware and software.  If it doesn't run under Unix,
preferably 4.2, we're not interested.
