For those who expressed some interest in actual performance numbers for the Amdahl 5990, I do have some numerical benchmarks. These all refer to a single CPU (of 2 or 4). Harmonic mean of 14 Livermore Kernels (LFK14) 15.26 MFLOPS * Harmonic mean of 24 Livermore Kernels (LFK24) 11.9 MFLOPS Single Precision LINPACK (LIN32) 16.78 MFLOPS Double Precision LINPACK (LIN64) 14.49 MFLOPS These numbers are all with the VS-Fortran compiler except for * which is the Facom compiler (which we have running under UTS). -- Mike Taylor ...!{ihnp4,hplabs,amdcad,sun}!amdahl!mat [ This may not reflect my opinion, let alone anyone else's. ]
