I am breaking net etiquette by not reading this group for a while before posting,
many apologies if this post is not good form.
I would like to hear from people using the CRAY-YMP EL. Reply by e-mail if you prefer.
Specific points I would like to hear about include:
(*) the EL's usefulness for seismic processing where fast memory and data
transfer rates are important; we typically process lots of small chunks
of data
(*) the EL is serviced (in our area) by DEC, does any one have
any comments good or bad about DEC service of CRAY hardware?
(*) how well does it fit into a NIS domain as either a client to a
SUN master server or as a master with SUN clients?
(*) has anyone experienced problems porting code from the Convex to the CRAY?
(*) has anyone switched from a Convex to the EL? Would you buy CRAY again if
you could do it over?
Any comments are welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Jim
