Engineering Computer Network at Purdue University designed
and has operational 4 production PurDuals 780s.  They are NOT 782s.
Both CPUs connect to the same SBI, and you get 1.7 to 1.9
thruput increase for a cost of ~$50000 in parts or just buy
a used CPU.

Purdue Dual 780s have been in production since 1981.  We believe
that a 3B20A is its closest cousin.  If you would like a copy of
the technical report describing the PurDual please send a
9x12" SASE (1 unit of first class postage) requesting:

TR-EE 81-31 / A Dual Processor VAX 11/780
