"... In PAGE 13: ... Since the basic architecture of these systems is systolic in nature, we have devised a performance measure that is based on the number of million cell operations per second (MCOPS), where a cell is de ned as a PE in a hardware implementation or the equivalent block of instructions (basic inner loop) in a software implementation. Based on this measure, Table2 shows the performance of several general-purpose and special-purpose systems. The BioSCAN system, operating at clock rate of 32 MHz, performs a cell operation in each PE every 16 clock cycles for a theoretical processing rate of 2 MHz.... ..."

Even though the evaluation experiments reported on in this paper were performed on names in isolation rather than in sentential contexts, the error rates for name pronunciation as obtained in these exper- iments ( Table2 ) correspond to the performance on names by the integrated text analysis component for arbitrary text.
