I am seeking the most flattering statitistics that any parallel computing
machine can brag of. Special Purpose hardware is welcome, general purpose
machines quoted for running on the problems for which they are best suited.
This is for comparison to analogue signal processors. Examples of fast
machines in other technologies are welcome.
-Thanks in advance, Ted

Examples of fast machines in other technologies are welcome. My favorite "peak" performance number is this: the digital processors onboard the General Dynamics F16 aircraft have a computational power of 1.0 unstable-airframes-kept-flying. There is no analogue processor that even remotely approaches this processing speed. -- -- Mark Johnson MIPS Computer Systems, 930 E.
