I'm using a BBN Butterfly GP1000 to do some engineering calculations and I've got some timing results. I'm wondering whether there is a theoretical estimate of speedup, or communication time available for a general or specific computation model using this machine. Noticing a quite few BBN experts or hackers out there on the net, I would like to ask for help to be pointed to publications or anything giving analytical models of estimating (even just determining an upper bound of) speedup or other performance characteristics for the Butterfly architecture. Any help will be deeply appreciated. Response can be either posted on comp.parallel or emailed to zyu@caip.rutgers.edu. ---Sam
