I'd like to see a very general hardware processing power equivalence table. For example, 1 MasPar equals how many Pentiums.
One MasPar MP2 (4K processors) could run 300,000 crypt(3) crack attempts per second (a password checker). That should give you 6 or 7 million brute force key attempts per second. Unfortunately the only way to show an equivalance for a particular problem is to have both machines work on the same problem. (Perhaps we could manage to break a DES key in the course of executing a new benchmark?)
