1. In regard to an article posted a while back stating that the CDC CYBER 205 is
slower than a Cray 1. This is incorrect. The CDC CYBER 205-424 has been clocked
around 800 MIPS, making it faster than the Cray 1, ETA10-P, ETA10-Q, NEC SX-1,
Cray X/MP-2, IBM Sierra 3090-400/VF, NEC SX-1E.....
2. A second article displayed the following :
>Cray US X/MP, Y/MP, II Current US top of line
>Cray US III (Q3 '90) 6 ns cycle, GaAs
>NEC/Honeywell Japan/US SX series (Q3 '90) 22 GFlops, 3 ns cycle
>Fujitsu Japan VP2000 series 4 GFlops, uniprocessor
>Fujitsu/Siemens Japan/Euro VP2000 series ('90) 16 GFlops, 4 processor
>ETA US (sayonara) ETA-10
>IBM/Steven Chen US In development
>Hitachi/NAS/Comparex Info. Systeme
> Japan/US/FRG ??
This is also incorrect, whereas the following gives a more accurate picture,
based on machines actually available, and not scheduled for production.
1. ETA US 10-G 10.3 Billion Instructions per Second
2. Thinking Machines US CM-2 10 Billion Instructions per Second
3. West German Govt. D Suprenum 1 5 Billion Instructions per Second
4. ETA US 10-E 3.4 Billion Instructions per Second
5. NEC J SX-X44 3.2 Billion Instructions per Second
6. Cray US X/MP-416 2.8 Billion Instructions per Second
7. Thinking Machines US CM-1 2 Billion Instructions per Second
8. NEC J SX-2 1.3 Billion Instructions per Second
