Apollo Computer Inc. has introduced a family of Personal
Supercomputers (tm) based on a new supercomputing architecture -- the
PRISM (Parallel Reduced Instruction Set Multiprocessing) architecture.
With the introduction of the new Domain (r) Series 10000 (tm) Personal
Supercomputer -- the first implementation of the PRISM architecture --
Apollo has combined the power of supercomputers with the productivity
advantages of workstations.
Configured with a single processor, the Personal Supercomputer can
deliver from 15 to 30 times the total throughput of DEC's VAX 11/780.
Single processor performance benchmarks are as follows:
dhrystones 27,000
whetstones
single-precision 18,500 K
double-precision 17,000 K
linpack (mflops) coded blas
single-precision 9
double-precision 5
The Personal Supercomputer server includes from 1 to 4 processors, up
to 128MB of main memory, and up to 3GB of local mass storage. Prices
start at $69,900. The Series 10000 computational workstation includes
from 1 to 4 processors, up to 128MB of main memory, up to 3GB of local
storage, 8 planes of color, and a 19" 1024 x 800 display. Prices
start at $79,900. Shipments of both the server and workstation
configurations will begin in the third quarter of 1988.

... or so says someone I spoke to at Apollo. Initially, the DN10K will be shipped with the same display system the DN4000 uses, a 1280x1024x8 color system that plugs into an AT slot. "They are working on a 'better' 'real' display system; it'll be introduced later." -steve platt platt@swarthmore.edu
