[comp.arch] Amdahl 5990 benchmarks

mat@amdahl.uts.amdahl.com (Mike Taylor) (05/07/88)

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).
