Hope you find them useful. It was interesting for us to see how very much faster the HP RISC can be than the Sun RISC, and confirmed our suspicion that Sun's marketing is much better than their engineering... register auto auto int function auto int short long multiply call+ret double HP9000/370 (fpa -O) 0.22 0.26 0.22 1.35 3.96 0.62 HP9000/370 (-O) 0.21 0.26 0.22 1.35 3.08 1.21 HP9000/370 (fpa no -O) 0.26 0.40 0.36 1.44 4.42 1.56 HP9000/370 (no -O) 0.26 0.40 0.37 1.45 3.38 2.72 HP9000/835 (-O) 0.27 0.29 0.27 5.49 0.31 0.27 HP9000/835 (no -O) 0.29 0.53 0.45 5.62 0.31 0.59 Sun SS1 (no -O) 0.38 0.40 0.35 19.7 0.51 0.72 Sun SS1 (-O) 0.29 0.33 0.30 19.5 0.49 0.59 -- ^ Bo Thide'-------------------------------------------------------------- | | Swedish Institute of Space Physics, S-755 91 Uppsala, Sweden |I| [In Swedish: Institutet f|r RymdFysik, Uppsalaavdelningen (IRFU)] |R| Phone: (+46) 18-403000.
