>From the article on Stretch: "[Stretch] ... could perform 100 billion computations a day and handle half a million instructions per second." There are 86400 seconds in one day. Half a million instructions per second for one day equals 43 billion instructions, which somehow were able to perform 100 billion computations. I don't know of any z/OS instructions that can perform more than one computation per instruction, but I must confess I haven't read about all the newest ones yet. How was Stretch able to perform over two computations for each instruction handled? Bill Fairchild Rocket Software
