[comp.parallel] Further i860 benchmarks: NAS Kernels

Doug,

Here are some results of single i860 node performance on the NAS kernels.
They were done using the Production Release of the Green Hills Fortran
compiler.

NOTE: The last row of each test should be ignored.  It contains the sum
of each column and then the average based on the sums.  So, it doesn't
give equal weight to each kernel.  It is better to look at the 
individual kernels.
