What kind of memory caching is used on the Solbourne computers?
I don't have the exact model number at hand, but I think it is
a 'Series 5(?)' that I want to know about. The machine has two
CPU's which are essentially 33Mhz SPARC chips. It does asymmetric
multiprocessing.

Also: What memory caches are used on the Sun4/280 and Sparcstation-1
machines? 

Does anyone have a program which will measure the effect of these
caches on performance? I would be interested in something which
can be run in a multiprocessing mode. 

Thanks in Advance
