However, there didnt seem enough responses to warrants an additional news group and so I suggest making it a subgroup of net.micro: net.micro.432 We have an installed iapx432 that executes 'Intel ADA' programs cross compiled on a VAX. We are making some simple measurements of the speed of the 432 as it executes programs. In one very crude experiment, we found that the processor will perform at least 1 million 'ADA' integer additions to a local variable in 21 secs. We are interested in discovering other iapx432 sites and in information exchange. Roy Campbell Associate Professor Department of Computer Science University of Illinois, Urbana pur-ee!uiucdcs!roy
