Randy:
Your inquiry was referred to me by another individual in Alliant
who follows the parallel multiprocessor SIG.
Alliant makes a line of multiprocessor, shared-memory scientific
computers. The FX/800 has from 2-8 CPUs, based on the Intel i860. The
FX/2800 has from 8-28 CPUs, using these same basic scheme for linear
address space of up to 4 GB/process for all CPUs in the system.
The FX/2800 has been shipping for 5 quarters, the FX/800 for 2
quarters. Both systems are UNIX-based.
The integer performance of each CPU is 61 KDhrystones, V2.1.
The floating point performance of each CPU is 40 Mflops
in 64-bit precision. Each CPU will run FFTs at 36 Mflops and
convolutions at 75 Mflops (32-bit precision). All Alliant
products are designed to run single Fortran, C, and ADA programs
in parallel automatically.
If you would like more information, I can get you in touch
with your local Alliant Representative.
