According to the latest linpack benchmark, the Cray Y-MP, ETA-10E, and Cray X-MP with the latest compiler (CFT77 2.1) are, generally, faster single processors than the NEC SX-2, although the SX-2 wins the single processor matrix vector contest (anyone know why - I don't know the SX-2 architecture) -- Hugh LaMaster, m/s 233-9, UUCP ames!lamaster NASA Ames Research Center ARPA lamaster@ames.arc.nasa.gov Moffett Field, CA 94035 Phone: (415)694-6117
