Re SOME BENCHMARKS FOR G94 ON A PENTIUM PRO (mailed Feb 3)
Hello,
Thanks to all who responded to my email:
Joseph Bausch, Gary Kedziora, Alexander Turner, Stephane.humbel, John
Shelley and Daniel Tunega.
Responding to questions and comments:
1) (JB) My PentiumPro is 200 MHz (128 MB RAM, 6 GB disk); ca. $3000 US.
2) GK says you can get a decent DEC Alpha for $5000--10000. My only info'
on the DEC whose times I reported is what it says in the Gaussian book
"Exploring Chemistry...": DEC AlphaServer, 5 GB disk, 250 RAM.
3) AT says the DEC is very fast cf. SGI for ab initio (but can be more
trouble to set up).
4) S.h reported that job 2_05a took 4.3 min on an SGI O2 R10000 (150 MHz).
5) JS my machine: PentiumPro etc; [(1) above]; the DEC: I have only the
info I reported. Maybe a 300 MHz Pentium II is faster than a PentiumPro.
Only one way to find out.
6) DT and GK: websites for DEC and for specs:
http://www.microway.com
www.aspsys.com
http://www.specbench.org http://performance.netlib.com
Thanks again to all who wrote.
