Results shown are in minutes. Lower numbers indicate better performance. Unless otherwise indicated for a system, the SPEC, TPC, and Linpack benchmarks were conducted using AIX v 4.2.1. The preprocessors were purchased separately from these vendors. The model simulates some of the system's operations such as CPU, cache, and memory.
