Are there any models for MIMD machines, in particular
for Intel iPsc/2 and BBN GP1000?

I am interested in the following three parameters: t, a and b:

the cost of a floating point operation (or an SAXPY operation) t and
the cost of a block transfer a+bi, where i is the size of data.

Are there any numbers for them?

Thanks.
