The Bifurcation Map - A Parallel Plot
In this plot every color represents the work done by a particular machine. If
you count how many areas have a specific color you will notice that different
machines completed a different number of tasks.
| machine | architecture | number of tasks |
| daphy | DEC alpha 200 | 9 |
| goophy | DEC alpha 3000 | 8 |
| mango | IBM RS6000 | 7 |
| coconut | IBM RS6000 | 6 |
This table does not necessarily mean that coconut has two thirds the speed of
daphy. We ran this program in a multi-user environment, other user might have
used one or more of the machines at the same time and additional tasks,
webserving, fileserving, mail are done by some machines but not others.
