Full Table of Current Results

This table is an attempt to show the best results for all computers on which we or others have been able to run the DDT and AIPS. It is incomplete, but will be filled in as time permits. Those computers tested in the original 1993 tests appear in a separate table following this one. Results on Intel computers using f2c with gcc are omitted since recent g77 results suggest that the early measurements are very misleading. See discussions below the tables for various results using the older compilation method.
