Does anyone out there know how many machine instructions it takes to
do an integer add and to do an integer multiply on the i860?  I have 
an extremely computationally intensive algorithm that I will be running
in the INTEL iPPSC/860 hypercube and am trying to develop a decent estimate 
of how much time it will take to run.

Also, the i860 has a peak performance rating of 4096 MIPS.  If you have 
(or have seen) results that seem to indicate reasonable performance given  
this rating, would you please let me know what those were (and references
if such exist)?

Thanks!
