- I went to undergraduate school at the Univ of IL(83), and to
- graduate school at San Diego State Univ.(85). Both campuses
- had CDC Cyber machines I used in a limited capacity.
- I recall I was impressed with the speeds of the machines
- at the time, but I do not recall the exact models that were
- used. They were 1's complement machines, and used 60 or perhaps
- it was 63 bit integers.
-
- I am curious, if anyone knows, what the performance of the
- Cyber series of computers was in the mid 1980's.
- How would their integer or FP performance compare to a
- 50 Mhz 80486, in running a single, CPU intensive task.
