The person who is responsible for >surplusing this equipment was of little help. This is a big/fast machine. It is a vector processor comparable in speed to a Cray. Vector length = 65000 Cycle time = 20ns MFLOPS = 200 (64 bit) 400 (32 bit) assumes 2 pipe machine, maximum speed (i.e., long vectors) MIPS = about 60 scalar Weight = about 32,000lbs including peripherials The computing center here has to of these machinces. The Cyber 18-20 is used for maintenance, not job entry/etc.
