Beta Niagara evaluator comment

Excerpts from Chuck Sears (Oregon State University), a beta evaluator:

This product Rocks...I think the key is being able for application developers to
understand what the strengths and weakness of all the various processors
on the market is, then make an intelligent decision on how best to maximize
your return. With Niagara family I really think this is an up hill education
battle because the tradition flops metric really is not a good one.
In our preliminary work so far it is easy to see and justify the amount of work
that this puppy can deliver. The flops are a big win added bonus but the real
key for our class of apps is to see the total amount of sustainable work this
processor can deliver.

If you understand this architecture, start working with the
development tools and you have the luxury of starting over or slowing tweaking
existing codes you have an enormous opportunity to rethink your problem space .
This processor allows you to do things differently since it can sustain so much
throughput.

Tell the team for us that this is a barn burner....
