We are preparing to issue an RFP for a mid-range ($250K) unix system. I would be interested in hearing from others who have evaluated systems in this class, esp. what tools you bought/built/filched/etc. to do your evaluation. [I suppose this has been discussed before, so if you happen to know in which group(s), I would appreciate a pointer with which to flog the archives.] We're interested both in cpu-i/o-network benchmarking, and in a test suite which can give some measure of a system's functional conformance to "pure" 4.3 and/or pure S/V. (Since we don't have a S/V source license, we don't have access to the SVVS.) Please reply directly to me via mail. Results will be returned by mail to correspondents. If I receive a significant number of responses, I will summarize to these groups.
