Dear all,
We are currently doing a certain amount of agonizing over EPICS CPU choice.
Does anyone have any words of wisdom or advice? In particular, who is actually
using Force boards and who is positively interested in sparc boards?
1. Force CPU/40; seen as "safe" choice for us since we currently use Force
CPU/29 and CPU/30 boards.
2. Force Sparc 5CE; seen as risky choice (no-one uses it yet) but also as
good choice for the future plus advantage of common host and target
architectures for Sun hosts. Some concern that i/o performance may not
be as good as Force M680x0 boards.
3. Other M680x0; obviously MVME167 is _very_ widely used in the EPICS
community but we have dismissed it without much discussion. Is this
short-sighted of us?
Thanks,
William
