Abstract

Compared with the previous generation of personal computers, the IBM personal computer has a much larger address space and significantly greater computational abilities. When equipped with the 8087 numeric data processor, a whole new class of compute-intensive applications can be executed on the IBM PC; the floating-point performance is up to two-orders-of-magnitude greater than earlier personal computers. Some representative computation rates are shown in the following table.
