Abstract
We discuss the performance of the MIPS R8000 microprocessor. For sever al loops we analyze why (or why not) they run efficiently on this proc essor. To illustrate this approach, me consider the implementation of some finite difference derivative operators. We briefly indicate how t o optimize the calculation of a discrete viscous flux operator in 3-D Navier-Stokes computations.
