Are there any RC6280s (R/6000 boxes) in the real world? (Or at Mips
such that they can be talked about?)  I'm writing grant proposal
specs for some R/3000-based systems with the expectation that
when/if any $$$ actually turn up, we will want R/6000 versions of
the same things instead.  [Not trying to be mysterious here;  what
I'm specing out is top-of-the-line Silicon Graphics multi-processor
IRISes.]

Now that IBM is running around with spectacular speeds in their RS/6000
line, I'd like some benchmark results showing that the Mips R/6000 chip
is at least in that ballpark.  Dongarra/Linpack-type benchmarks would
be OK;  surely somebody's done this?
