Nick, I worked this out a few months ago when the prizes were
announced. Using a pentium II/400 the mathematical expectation

If you wanted to be picky, you could always say that a version of _GNU_/Linux
has passed the test... The tests aren't f

If you're under 35, you're not likely to recognise the reference to a
long-obsolete (but advanced, for its day) operating system, used on
Honeywell mainframes,

Does anyone else notice that their Celeron based machines seem to take a
relatively bigger performance hit when moving from testing exponents in the
384K FFT size to the 448K FFT size (under V18.1, at least)?
I have a couple of non-overclocked Celeron 400 machines and, at the 384K
FFT size, they
