I have in front of me a copy of the LINPACK results dated 8/20/88, which
shows an 8-CPU YMP delivering 195MF on the LINPACK N=100.  This was 
using an early version of our Autotasking software to distribute
the work automatically across multiple processors.  Our YMP numbers have
since gotten a little better through various tweaks.
(Of course, if you meant single-CPU, you're right, though I would
claim you should limit the ETA to one pipe, too.)
