This is probably a FAQ, but does anybody out there
know the SPECMARK figures for the Transputer
(T425, T805 and evaluations for T9000).

Thanks,

-michel

The following article was recently posted to comp.sys.sun.hardware and
gives a projected SPECMARK for the T9000 of 70:

Article: 1508 of comp.sys.sun.hardware
From: labman@ecr.mu.oz.au (Bruce Robertson)
Subject: Article on 3rd Gen RISCS.

 Some have been talking about the viking chipset.

 Well I just got my copy of EDN magazine.
 Has some article on Riscs. The usual tripe
 The following is a VERY shortened table of
 comparision.

 I believe the TI chip below is the Viking
 (OF COURSE I COULD BE WRONG)

 could someone confirm this.

  Device                   CPU speed     SPECmarks
 Intel i960               16-25-32-40Mhz   30 (40Mhz)
 MIPS R4000SC             50Mhz (100Mhz*)  70
 IBM RS/6000              33Mhz            25.9
 NS 32SF641               33-40-50Mhz      100 native MIPS
 Intergraph C400          50Mhz            42
 Digital Alpha            200Mhz           100
 Motorola 88110           50Mhz            63.7
 Intel i860               25-40-50Mhz      42 (50Mhz)
 SGS Thomson T9000 (trans) 50Mhz           70
 Texas Inst. Super SPARC  50Mhz (100Mhz*)  75

 *   Means some internal Frequency doubler lets the chip
     run internally at 100Mhz. OR the various elements
     work on opposite phases of the clock.

Would anyone from inmos care to comment on this number?
It seems rather high to me - I would be very interested
if anyone could give a breakdown of this SPECmark into
its component parts. Has inmos released any predicted
performance figures for the T9000 (no, I won't ask for
a predicted shipping date - we need more than a geometric
mean to calculate that one ;-)
