of four C50 floating point DSP chips. Figure between 1 and 1.5 billion
instructions / second.
Stephanie Sennif at MIT had a recognizer that needed 6 UNIX workstations
just for the front end.
And the all time winner: a system at AT&T that ran on a computer they
call "Aspen" which has an array of 128 processors.
Now, for what you're doing, I don't believe any of the commercially
availiable Windows recognizers (Dragon, IBM, or L&H Kurzweil) are
multithreaded, and none will take advantage of the extra processor.
Now, UNIX stuff has been multithreaded and multiprocessored for so many
years that all the major UNIX recognizers (HARK, Nuance, PureSpeech, etc)
would take full advantage of such a system.
Apparently, whatever your building is multithreaded.
