[comp.parallel] requesting FLOPS-data

bb@uni-paderborn.de (Bernard Bauer) (12/18/90)

Hello,

I want to build up a short clear table with informations about the fastest
processors/machines (in comparison with parallel systems). I haven't found
any comparable overview until now.

I propose the following headline for the table (further columns possible):

COMPANY        MODEL  NO_OF_PROC'S   PERFORMANCE   COSTS     FLOPS/US $
(name,address)                       (e.g. FLOPS)  (in US $) 

Therefore I'm looking for some input. I'll post this call in this news
group first. If you have further suggestions for posting in other groups
please let me know.

I'll summarize your referencies and informations in the resulting table and
post it to the news group.

Thanks in advance, Bernard

Jack Dongarra's data would be a good starting point.
Mixed in with his supercomputing benchmarks are some
parallel processors, and he now has a table of 
parallel processors alone.

To obtain a PostScript copy of the report send mail
to netlib@ornl.gov and in the message type:
     send performance from benchmark

As with all benchmarks, read the fine print carefully
so you can judge what the numbers mean.
