#a.) Has anyone compared a Sun (sparcstation 2) to their RS6000, and what swayed
#your decision to the  RS6000.

I just compared the PHIGS (a graphics standard for writing applications)
capabilities of our RS/6000 model 730 running AIX 3.1.6, X11R3,
graPHIGS 2.2.3 with two SPARCstations 2 (4/75) running SunOS 4.1.2,
X11R5, PEX-SI.
I wrote an iso-phigs program that runs on both systems almost without
modifications, that implements a part of Lorensen's "Marching Cubes"
algorithm (iso-surface generation from a 3D scalar valued array).
(The reason I compared the RS/6000 with TWO Suns is, that PEX-SI is
a layer on top of X-windows, which means that running a large PEX-SI program
and the X-server on the same machine slows down both (since they are too
big to fit into memory together in my case). The best thing to do was
therefore to run the PEX-SI program on one and X on the other SPARC.)

The RS/6000 was about 50% faster than a SPARC 2 on pure computational
power (i.e. without any PHIGS calls included). When the complete program
(i.e. including PHIGS routine calls) was run, the RS/6000 slowed down
less than 7%, but the SPARC-combination took 140% more time for computing
the iso-surface. Displaying the iso-surface was 680% slower on a SPARC than
on the RS/6000...
(When using one single SPARC 2, it was 7 times as slow as the RS/6000
computing the iso-surface, and 14 times as slow displaying it.)

No need to say I like the RS/6000 for its PHIGS implementation :-)

On the other hand, this allows (provided the space does exist on /usr)
things like 'lslpp -a -l all' to indicate that a particular unapplied
PTF is present on one of the patch media without loading them all.
This did prove useful once or twice.

However, /usr is getting to be a critical resource on many of these
6000's and there doesn't appear to be a lot of flexibility in the
software for dealing with different user preferences on the allocation
of this resource, e.g. putting portions on other disks, not keeping
the installp database on all the systems, etc.

This point and the fact, that the current version of XONDOS doesn't work
properly with X11R4 are - in my eyes - the worst disadvantages of an
otherwise relatively cheap and good offer: It does   n o t   support, work
with or even cooperate with packet drivers.

I tried to contact Locus (obviously the original developer of it under the
name PC XSIGHT) several times by email, but without any success. They
didn't even bother to answer.

On the other hand Russ Nelson, main packet-driver authority (Crynwr, nee
Clarkson) in the 'public domain' confirmed, that he also has no idea
about it.

Taken together with AIX Access for DOS Users ((AADU), Locus' name being
PC Interface for this) it could form a marvelous plattform offering
X-Window and 'virtual' drives for a PC. But ftp and telnet are poor at
least (also a personal opinion, of course) - and it doesn't work with
CUTCP or NCSA. You have to   r e b o o t   to another configuration to
use them all, the IBM/Locus products using device drivers in config.sys.

Also AADU eats up quite a lot of conventional RAM (640 KB) space,
even if expanded or extended memory is available. In our case, there
are about 430 KB left. I would like to see either IBM or Locus working
on that to make it into the fine product this combination could become.

Date: 30 Sep 92 13:36:36 GMT
Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

Hello,

         fddi fun, or how to go round and round and get nowhere.

Having just received a bunch of rs6k 560s with fddi single ring adapters.
Having never played with fiber stuff before, but being excited about the
brave new fiber world speeds!

I procured MIC to ST cables and numerous fiber barrel connectors
(cheap is my middle name and these are not in offices but a machine room,
so ring reliability isn't the critical issue it is in office situations).

I can make two rs6ks talk by plugging them together with fiber barrel
connectors.  I hook the xmit on machine A to the recv on machine B and
the recv on machine A to the xmit on machine B.

      +-------+       +------+
      | xmit  |---0---| recv |
      | recv  |---0---| xmit |
      +-------+       +------+
		 ^^^ fiber barrel connectors

    Yea, good for me, I win round 1.
    (I always feel like I'm in a fight when working with rs6ks).

But I have more than 2 machines (hum).  It would be nice if they all could
be on the same ring 'cheaply'.  I've made sure that all fiber cables are OK
and adapters work.  Both by attenuation tests and by making all machines
pair up in the A to B scenario (above).

Taking the next (for me) logical step, I try three machines.  Actually
I hooked up all machines in a 'ring' but that didn't work so...

Theoretically (vendors and fiber 'experts' have verified that 'it should work')
I can daisy chain the machines, limited only by node counts and fiber
distance of the fddi spec..  So I try:

      Machine A
      +-------+
      | xmit  |------+
      | recv  |----+ |
      +-------+    | |
      Machine B    0 |
      +-------+    | |
      | xmit  |----+ |
      | recv  |----+ 0		0 -> fiber barrel connector
      +-------+    | |
      Machine C    0 |
      +-------+    | |
      | xmit  |----+ |
      | recv  |------+
      +-------+

	THIS DOESN'T WORK!  Waa, Waa.

I probably look REALLY stupid to you people out there, but it seems like
it should work since fddi isn't an IBM specification and so things
like token-ring msau's and wiring closets only line the vendors pocket.

What am i missing?

FDDI is 802.4'ish in nature, down stream neighbor, token passing, ...?

HELP and/or Educate me.

I recommend the USENET newsgroup sci.math.symbolic if you are
interested in computer mathematics/algebraic software in general.

You will find many software packages available, most of which are

Replacing one key cost (at least then) less than $5.  
If you lose the number off the tag that's shipped with it, however, you
have to replace both key and lock.  That would cost about $600 (unless 
your IBM CE can combine it with another call for something which the
Maintenance Agreement covers.  Then you'd only have to pay for parts,
still over $100.

Don't lose the tags.  Keep a file of the numbers.

Yes.  IBM support was unable to fix the problem... They now claim

Given the key, a user, or passer-by, can do all these things and leave no
trace.  Rebooting the system is required, but the traces of the reboot can
be erased.  All this presumes a sufficiently clever user, of which there
never seems to be a shortage.

The key needs to be accessible for system repair, but shouldn't be left
in the system.

Neither Stanford nor the DOE would be caught dead with these opinions.
Nor do they consult me when formulating theirs.

I've installed version 2.2.2. You do need bison and GNU C. In fact,
the GNU C++ install is part of the GNU C install from version 2.0

assembler fix that MUST be installed.
