I'm looking for information about measurements of the helios operating system running on T800 / T414 concerning - communication speed over external links to neighbour and non-neighbour Transputers (message length: 1/4/8/10/100/1000 .. bytes); - concerning communication speed over internal channels; - time for starting new tasks. Are there comparable numbers for systems not using helios (other operating systems, no operating system on Transputer)? Please email, I'll summarize. Thank's Juergen Vollmer GMD Research Group at the University of Karlsruhe, FRG email: vollmer@karlsruhe.gmd.dbp.de vollmer@gmdka.uucp
