if you want to look at other various ... Jan1979, I was con'ed into doing benchmarks on engineering 4341 for national lab that was looking at getting seventy for a compute farm (sort of leading edge of coming cluster supercomputing tsunami).
in the wake of Future System failure, the was mad rush to get products back into 370 pipeline (internal politics had been shutting down 370 efforts) and 3033 (168-3 logic mapped to 20% faster chips) and 3081 were kicked off in parallel. some history http://www.jfsowa.com/computer/memo125.htm they took 158 engine w/o the 370 microcode and just the integrated channel microcode for the 303x (external) channel director. then the 3031 is a 158 engine with just the 370 microcode (no integrated channel microcode) and a 2nd 158 engine with the integrated channel microcode (and no integrated channel microcode). A 3032 is 168-3 configured to use channel director for external channels ... and 3033 is 168-3 logic remapped to 20% faster chips. 158 45.54 secs 3031 37.03 secs 4341 36.21 secs 168-3 9.1 secs 91 6.77 secs and real historic cdc6600 35.77 secs 158-3 (158 engine running both 370 and integrated channel microcode) was 45.54 secs compared to 3031 (that was two 158 engines, one for 370 mcode only and one for channels mcode only) was 37.03 secs. misc. old 4341 email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#4341 -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
