alpha vs. SGI for molecular simulations ?

[Dr. Mrigank]

hello
I am looking for follwoing information about DEC alpha

1.	Has anyone ported molecular simulation packages AMBER, GROMOS, CHARMM,
	BIOSYM on it?

2.	What is the performance as comared to
	i.	SGI	ii.	EVS	iii.	ST-100

3.	Any source of benchmarks for Energy minimization and molecular dynamic
	run ?

4.	How does it compare with SGI for real time graphics in general and
	particuraly for

	i. Molecular graphics	ii. software develpment.
