A set of programs, gathered from major Argonne computer users, was run on the current generation of supercomputers: the CRAY X-MP-4 is a consistently strong performer over a wide range of problems. The Fujitsu and Hitachi computers excel on highly vectorized programs and offer an attractive opportunity to sites with IBM-compatible computers.
