More RS 6000 benchmarks...

The Super-user root at palms.usc.edu
Fri Feb 23 05:50:26 AEST 1990


Hi folks,
	Thought I'd contribute to the benchmark wars. Following are the results of
benchmarking fractal computations. Note that the RS 6000-530 is way up
there with the
Cray X-MPs and the RS 6000-320 is above SGI/Convex/Sun/Dec. I do believe
that IBM has
yet to test the RS 6000-540 (41 MIPS). Please note that the following
article can be obtained in full by anonymous FTP to uxc.cso.uiuc.edu
(pub/xfroot/timings). I have clipped off the accompanying notes and
explanations.

       systems thus not meeting SPEC benchmark criteria.
