Miya) Organization: NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif. Lines: 15 Richard (and the net): I would credit the hardware in this case more than the software for the SX-2's speed. While I would give Don Callahan and Jack Dongarra a lot of credit for their tests (and Ingrid Bucher for earlier similar tests), The SX-2 is slightly disappointing in some areas of performance. Let each user take the machine out for a test drive, I encourage each of you to try the machine out, but also try the Amdahl 1200.
