I agree, I just don't know. But wouldn't the MPP folks have to have beaten
the inter-CPU overhead thing? All MVS performance classes inferred that
there was a limit to the efficiency of adding another processor, but I now
assume it must only be an MVS limitation. In reality, we are debating the
16 processor to 54 processor question, the scientific people are building
these 512 or 1024 processor complexes based sometimes on Intel Pentiums.

Good point but I am not sure the MPP(s) have the same architecture of the
s/370-s/390's though. I don't know enough about them to really comment
other than what I was told (second hand information). The comparison
might/might not be valid.
