Hi! Does anyone have a feel for the 88110's double precision FP speed? Will it be tripled as well as the integer speed? (please?) If it is, we're talking about some _serious_ processing--about the level of a Stellar GS2000 or SGI 4D/GTX series. This has got me thinking about building very fast coprocessor boards. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to get a solid background in Mach? Thanks. --- John Kuszewski kuszewsk@euler.biology.yale.edu

Double precision is required for some applications but cannot be done with a 96002. Plus, will it be available for running jobs? The ND's 860 isn't, partially because it's alkready busy running the screen. I'm wondering what's actually available for user jobs.
