Infotek Compiler for HP 9000 Series 200/300

[Michael Fehlhammer]

Sorry, the table has vanished.

Here it is:
The test program is a simple loop that mainly does a REAL multiplikation:

Floating Point Unit-------------Time(s) interpreted-----------Time(s) compiled code
None (68000 software lib.)............14.1....................................13.5
HP 98635A .....................................5.6......................................4.​9
Infotek FP 200.................................3.2......................................2.8​
Infotek MF 300................................1.66....................................0.74
68020/68882@33MHz DIO-c...........0.27...................................0.15



The Infotek FP 200 is based on the same chip from National Semiconductors as the HP 98635.
The Infotek MF 300 features a Motorola 68881 Copro, along with some memory ( 1 MB; 4 MB in the case of the MF 340 ).
The 68020/68882 (sic!) DIO card was manufactured by Newport Digital. It runs at 33 MHz and is equipped with 8 MB of RAM. An HP 98620 DMA card is required for it to work.
With this card you can transform a series 200 computer into a rocket. :-)
