Greetings again. Ny previous post regarding DGL, supercomputing and high-speed networks had a *slight* error which I'd like to correct. After consulting my UltraNet guru (that's you John S.), I find that my numbers regarding the transfer rate between Cray and SGI 4D/340 VGX were a bit(?!) off. If you recall I stated: >A brief note about UltraNet: it is rated as a Gigabit network (this is between >high I/O machines like 2 Crays). The performance from a Cray to say, a VGX, is >about 15 Megabits/second - not bad at all. Most of the time, since we have the >faster UltraNet route it is the path of choice (no such thing as too fast!). I am told (as well as shown being the skeptic that I am!) that the numbers should be about 12Mega BYTES (not BITS)!! I never said I was a network guru anyway. -William -- >>>> William D.
