I am curious as to what anybody thinks of the Cray EL. I am
looking over some stuff, but I was wondering what other people think of
it -- especially people who have worked with it. I have worked with
the Cray YMP as a user, but I wonder how much translates down to
the Cray EL. How does it run vector, scaler, IO, etc?
It is binary compatible with the Cray YMP, but from what I
understand, it has extensions to make it go faster (like 4 instructions
per clock rather then two in some cases). Is it running the exact same
UNICOS from the Cray YMP (at the bit level). If not, does it get
overlooked by Cray?
I havn't heard too much about the Cray-3 -- is it out yet? I
heard that they were still having problems, but I don't talk to too many
people who work in this area. It sounds like a nice computer...
Thanks
