<> 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 to Mary Burwell Electrical Engineering Building Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 thanks for your interest ...
