It might be worth noting that the 712/80 (80MHz PA-1.1) is
rated by HP at the same SPECfp92 as the 712/60 (60MHz PA-1.1).

There has been evidence that this (quite improbable) result
was achieved by intentionally slowing the benchmarks for the
faster machine, in order to protect the more expensive 7?5
line of technical workstations. Indeed, when we run MD on our
712/80, we find that its performance is more consistent with a
SPECfp92 rating of above 100, just what you would expect by
simple clock rate extrapolation of either the 735 or the 712/60.

>From my experience, HP is faster than anything else
on the market, and they are pretty nice machines, too.

                                August 22-26, 1994

                   Universidad Autonoma de San Luis Potosi,
                       San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

PROGRAM: The aim is to bring together scientists and teachers
>from a wide variety of fields to discussing experiences related
to the mathematical software in the classroom or in research.
There will be plenary sessions of invited papers (1 hour), and
also short papers.


LOCATION: San Luis Potosi is an old colonial town with excellent
restaurants. The seminar will take place at the five star hotel
Quinta Real. Lodging for one week is $320. Because of its high
elevation, San Luis Potosi has a mild climate even in August.
You can fly to San Luis Potosi either through Mexico City, or
through San Antonio.


CALL FOR PAPERS: Titles and abstracts of contributed papers must
be last received by july 15, 1994. The abstracts may be submitted
in either Spanish or English not to exceed one page, preferably
by e-mail.

DEAR NETTERS,

I'M LOOKING FOR A PROGRAM THAT WILL CALCULATE (PREDICT) THE LOG(P) OF
PROTEINS AND OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. I WANT TO ESTIMATE THE HYDROPHOBIC/
HYDROPHILIC INDEX FOR A SERIES OF THESE COMPOUNDS.  CAN ANYONE SUGGEST 
ANY PROGRAMS? THANKS ...

Bill,

If you have either Sybyl, Insight II or Chem-X, then you should get HINT! 2.0 -
available from EduSoft (Ashland, VA). E-mail gkellogg@gems.vcu.edu. The program
was developed by Glen Kellogg and Donald Abraham - see J Comput Aided Mol Design
5 (1991) 545-552, and the 2.0 version includes a HintLogP estimation. This is an
aftermarket product sold independently for users of the above programs. The
Insight version is interfaced with Daylight Toolkit. 

For PC users (also available for workstations), you can get PCModels, available
>from Daylight CIS (Santa Fe, NM). Contact Yosef Taitz (yosi@daylight.com) for
details. The newest version of CLogP is CLogP3, which is included in PCModels.
This is also marketed by Biobyte (Claremont, CA), and is authored by Albert Leo
and David Weininger. 

Both EduSoft and Daylight offer substantial discounts for academic users.

Hope this helps.

Tudor
