Aren't there any more SPEC results out there?  I only have 66-67
systems in the table and there are a number of duplicates.  It sure
would be nice to be able to include machines like the Cray Y/MP, the
SGI 4D/35, and the new Sun Sparc 2 machines.

By the way, the newest table is set up to show:

	(1) Total SPECmark
	(2) Integer SPECmark
	(3) FP SPECmark
	(4) FP/Int
	(5) Best/Worst
	(6) Best of 10
	(7) Worst of 10

It is interesting to note, for example, that the *slowest* ratio for
the IBM RS/6000 Model 320 (13.72) is faster than the *fastest* ratio
of the Sun Sparc I+ (12.78).

It is also interesting to note that only *1* machine has any
individual results more than 100x as fast as the VAX 11/780!  (The
machine is the Stardent 3010 at 107x.  The IBM RS/6000 Model 540 is
close at 91x).

As usual, the table in 'sc' format is available by anonymous ftp from
perelandra.cms.udel.edu, in the file pub/bench/spec.sc.   

If you don't have the 'sc' spreadsheet program, it is available in
pub/sc, and should compile OK on most UNIX machines.

DISCLAIMER: There ain't nothing official about this....
