Since there has been some discussion lately in this newsgroup
concerning coprocessors I thought I would point out the good article
in the October issue of _Vulcan's_Computer_Monthly_. This article
compares three coprocessors (the ones in the subject line above)
via the Power Meter benchmarks using the following tests: spreadsheet
simulation, word processing simulation, database simulation, CAD,
throughput, whetstone, and aggregrate system performance.
The particular reason that I am posting this is that the magazine
inadvertently left out the entire test result table for the article,
and I found out how you can get a copy of it. Just call
1-800-366-0676 (Vulcan's phone #) and tell them you would like
a copy of their missing table for their article entitled "Three
Math Coprocessors."
I suggest that if you call them you should get a copy of last month's
issue so you can interpret the results. In this way you won't be
simply asking for a "freebie" by calling them too.
I have no connection with this magazine, etc., etc.,.....
