What are the fastest machines in the clusters?

Linux machines, in order of speed:

-Dell GX620 (3.4 GHz P4, 1GB)
-HP dc5100 (3.2 GHz P4, 1GB)
-IBM ThinkCentre S50 (3.2/2.8 GHz 1GB/512MB)
-IBM Intellistation E Pro (2.4 GHz P4, 512MB)

Sun machines, in order of speed:
-SunBlade 1500 (1062MHz, UltraSparc-IIIi, 2048MB)
-SunBlade 150 (650MHz UltraSparc-IIe, 512MB)
-SunBlade 100 (500Mhz UltraSparc-IIe, 512MB)

As always, you can determine a machine's speed with the following
command:

athinfo <hostname> cpuspeed

For example:

athena% athinfo w20-575-1.mit.edu cpuspeed
cpu MHz         : 3191.286

If you wish to get the speed of the machine you're currently on,
simply use 'localhost' as the hostname.
