Re: MAE-West is up again (Sun's & Alphas)

Following Paul's example, this is a warning that this is inappropriate for the list topic, hit "D" now ;-)  I think that the MP HyperSPARC machines and in particular the new Ultras are doing Just Fine performance wise and legacy code wise. I've been working with them on a daily basis for a year and a half at Axil, which makes more Sparcs than anyone except Sun, and we keep pushing them further and further. Alphas have a lot going for them, but don't write SPARC off. It's made up its performance deficit from the early 90s. -george
