Benchmark Tests on the New IBM RISC System/6000 590 Workstation
Harvey J. Wasserman · Scientific Programming · 1994
The results of benchmark tests on the superscalar IBM RISC System/6000 Model 590 are presented. A set of well‐characterized Fortran benchmarks spanning a range of computational characteristics was used for the study. The data from the 590 system are compared with those from a single‐processor CRAY C90 system as well as with other microprocessor‐based systems, such as the Digital Equipment Corporation AXP 3000/500X and the Hewlett‐Packard HP/735.
