[bit.listserv.sas-l] updated TESTBASE benchmark data?

CONJPM@UCSCVM.BITNET (Jim Mulherin) (02/01/90)

Nelson Pardee performed and collected benchmarks using TESTBASE as in
SAS 6.03 for his 1988 SUGI paper.  Others added to what he did.  I do
not have the most recent version and wonder if Nelson or others on the
list might have more they can report.  I am looking especially for:

               386 25 & 33 MHz boxes
               486 box
               Sun 3/160 or other Sun 3
               Sparcstation 1 or other Sun 4
               IBM 4381 under MVS and CMS or either
               IBM 3090 MVS/XA with vectorized SAS code

Thanks.

                ... and others more powerful to mention...

     Those 2 or 3 of us still chugging along on a 80286-12MHz, 640K, would
appreciate seeing relative comparisons that include the "low" end.  Perhaps
that will provide some ammunition in our fight to get a "real" computer on
which to run our PC-SAS.
