I went to undergraduate school at the Univ of IL(83), and to graduate school at San Diego State Univ.(85). Both campuses had CDC Cyber machines I used in a limited capacity. I recall I was impressed with the speeds of the machines at the time, but I do not recall the exact models that were used. They were 1's complement machines, and used 60 or perhaps it was 63 bit integers. I am curious, if anyone knows, what the performance of the Cyber series of computers was in the mid 1980's. How would their integer or FP performance compare to a 50 Mhz 80486, in running a single, CPU intensive task. -Roger -------------------------------------------------------------- bix: ruzun NET: uzun@crash.cts.com
