Well, I'm still trying to learn about floating point speeds on SPARC. My new question is this: Sun claims that the 4/330 is a "2.6 MFLOP machine." I wonder just where that number came from... it doesn't look like that can be the cannonical double precision linpack result (given the FPC and 8847 hardware). Could somebody clarify how the 2.6 number was arrived at? -mark -- mark thompson uunet!megatek!mark <Opinions expressed herein are not necessarilly those of Megatek Corp> --
